You don’t need to become a slug executioner. The secret is simple: dry them out of existence—gently. Fix that leaking faucet. Wipe down the bathroom floor after showers. Move your woodpile away from the house.

Also, check your door sweeps. A gap of just a quarter-inch is a highway for slugs. They can squeeze through places you’d never imagine, like they’re made of wet Jell-O and pure determination.
A Little Empathy Goes a Long Way
Next time you see a slug on your kitchen tile, try not to scream. It’s just a confused little guy who got lost looking for a drink. Scoop it up on a leaf and put it outside near a damp bush.
Your house will be safer, and you’ll feel like a gentle peacekeeper. Plus, you’ll have a great story to tell your friends about the time you evicted a gastropod from your pantry.
So, why do slugs come inside? Because they can, and because it’s comfortable. You can laugh about it, or you can grab a dehumidifier. Either way, you’re now the boss of your own dry kingdom—and the slugs will have to find another vacation spot.
