Slugs aren’t just wandering in for the décor. They’re looking for moisture and food—specifically, your forgotten crumbs, pet food, or that one leaky pipe under the sink. Think of your kitchen as a five-star resort for slugs, complete with a pool (the damp sink) and an all-you-can-eat buffet (that bag of potatoes you swore you’d use). The first step to getting rid of them is to make your home boring to a slug.
Check for leaks: a dripping faucet is basically a happy hour sign for these guys. Fix it, and suddenly your kitchen loses its vibe. Also, take out the trash every single night—yes, even when you’re tired. A banana peel left out is a slug’s dream vacation.
