Slugs

[Janer1]

We have a nightmare amount of slugs in our house - Victorian terrace with just earth underneath the floorboards. Does anyone know how we can get rid of them without putting down a fitted carpet (we have bare boards).

is your house in the middle of your street.

[Janer1]

Yes, why?

[wonkon-wonk]

that's why it's full of Suggs then.

Father wears his Sunday best
Mother's tired she needs a rest
The kids are playing up downstairs
Sister's sighing in her sleep
Brother's got a date to keep
He can't hang around

Our house, in the middle of our street
Our house,

LOL!!!

Anyway, to be serious - slugs don't live indoors for more than a couple of days, but they're getting in somehow. You need to seal floorboards, cracks around skirting boards, window frames and so on. No need to poison them if you just prevent them from coming in. If your floorboards are placed directly onto earth, they need sealing anyway, because otherwise you'll get other creepy crawlies in - such as ants. x

Hey nono, I had a reply to that, but daren't post it - had to remind meself we're not in Chatterbank.

(Sorry Janer1, hope you get the problem sorted).

Urrgghh..I once went to view a house-late Victorian.......and the kitchen carpet (yes-carpet) was covered in slime trails!! I suppose a fair number of houses built at that time did not have cellars or the type of foundations modern builds would.
Sorry-not the most useful answer-I know!

[Janer1]

Hope so too, but why banned?

[wonkon-wonk]

technical fault janer.
