    I was googling 'adopt a slug' to try and find this chap Slugs Slugs Slugs (and Snails too) whom I thought you would identify with.

    The top result was adopt a slug

    Slugs are 'orrible but I think woodlice are quite cute. Plus you can fed them to the venus fly trap.

    Back when I lived in an old terraced house up in York, I used to get loads of slugs in the kitchen. Tried the salt thing after reading that they can smell (?) it and it's meant to work well as a slug repellant. Well, it didn't work as intended and I ended up with a lot of semi-dissolved (and very smelly) slug corpses.

    Erm... A slug is referred to as a 'Gastropod Mollusc', not a 'bug' or an 'insect', it has it's very own branch. HTH

    I have a cat, so need to be careful about usual cure of sprinkling salt about the skirting boards.

    May well invest in a new dehumidifier - can anyone recommended a good quiet one that will allow sleep?

    Any bug busting suggestions?

    Would be up for a nice brunette to get down with some nice bug stomping action.....
    Slugs (& snails) are weird, I see them and the slime trails they leave behind heading up the gable ends of the house towards the apex...can't imagine what the little fookers are going to do once they get there as the birds always get to them first
