A friend of mine has a awful problem with slugs going indoors, she lives surrounded by a 250 year old house and have put up with them after trying deterrents, but today be the last straw when one get into the circuit board of her washing contrivance and shorted it out ,she has one and only had it 14 months and very soon cant afford a new one. Has anyone any design to keep them out please she is desperate?
Answers: Copper electrocutes them. She will entail to clean it every three or four days though as once a slug dies on one spot, it is ineffective at that spot until cleaned. Just furnish it a quick rub near some lemon juice or dampened baking soda on a sock. She can put copper tubing within front of flower beds, doorways, and garage doors, If she pours brackish anywhere that people way of walking, it could be tracked into the house and ruin flooring. If she pours salt into her flower bed, it can sterilize the ground and prevent things from growing as well as eradicate what is there.
