Why Slugs Deserve More Credit Than You Think

Why Do Slugs Keep Coming Into My House?

If you’re finding slugs indoors, you’re not alone. Here’s what might be drawing them in:

  • Moisture: Slugs love damp environments. Leaky pipes, humid basements, or puddles around your home can all attract them.
  • Vegetation: Got a garden nearby? Slugs are herbivores, so your plants might be their next meal.
  • Shelter: Slugs hide from the sun under clutter, logs, or stones. If your yard (or entryway) offers good hiding spots, they’ll take advantage.
  • Warmth: On cool nights, slugs might sneak inside where it’s warmer—especially if they can find a cozy, humid spot to hang out.

Quick tip: Tidying up clutter around the outside of your home and sealing gaps can help keep them out.
