slug mystery - how do they get in my kitchen

[Nym]

ducks do but my ducks don’t live right up close to my house or i’d have no lawn left . The slugs that are trying to get in my house are probably running away from the ducks.

ahh I forgot ducks eat lawns. Too bad you can't train a door sentry slug duck!

Do you have dogs or cats? My dogs sometime bring in slugs because they're running around wet grass in the evening, and then the slugs stick to the fur and drop off once inside.

Otherwise the only time I see them in the kitchen is when I bring in vegetables from the garden and slugs and some other creepy crawlies will hitch a ride in that way.

and this is why nobody should ever let dogs sleep in their bed with them…

this is why writers need editors! They don't get in by "opening doors and windows!" They get in "by way of open doors and windows."

But ... I'm finding slugs in my well house, which has NO windows, and the only time the door is opened is when I go in to get scratch for the chickens. I certainly don't invite them in with me! So tell me, how are MY slugs getting in? They must be crawling in through the crack under the door, yes? Thanks for the tip about the salt, I will certainly give it a try. I've tried tossing these little meat packages to my chickens but they just look at them with zero interest.
