One of my old student houses had an interior slug problem. The back "yard" was literally a concreted patch of maybe less than two square metres, useless even for drying laundry. But slugs tavelled over it and thanks to some quirk of architecture and neglect, came into our kitchen at night by oozing under the built-in kitchen cabinets. I presume they were searching for spilt food because there was nothing but sparse moss outside. The only solution we had was the metal dustpan which the owner has thoughtfully left for us, which we used to scoop up the slugs and then whang them over the low back wall and into the side of the school just across the road. On a quiet night, you could hear the 'splat'.
Kill them all on Valentines Day — I employ a deep mid-western drawl for the occasion — it’s their breeding season. If you can recruit your neighbours the effects are impressive. Original advice came from Gardeners Question Time a year or so ago.
