Night fright!

I think I have a slug in my utility room. I’ve not seen it, despite a good search, but there are trails across the mat each morning!

My guess would be that the said slug (yuk) had been brought in to the house unawares. Either on shopping, washing, a brush, shoes or whatever.

I'm told that slugs can flatten themselves and slither under doors that seem impregnable and have occasionally found them inexplicably in my kitchen from which I have promptly evicted them, with a dose of salt. However, one night I went into my small cellar (was coal hole before my time) and found three sizeable slugs climbing up my freezer. After I'd finished shuddering, I managed to collect them and dispose of them, again with a dose of salt. I suppose there is a way in underground, though I can't move the freezer to find it. I have now sprinkled slug pellets around it.
As for spiders, my niece, a confirmed arachnophobic, went on a course to de-sensitise her and can now actually handle even large hairy spiders!

We're in a 4th floor flat! It's been a heckuva climb up the pipe from the ground for that slug.

We have had the most ginormous black spider on the floor in our loo. I left hurriedly to get help but when I returned it was nowhere to be seen! Is it in the cupboard I wonder? Everytime I go in there I do a search of the floor and the walls but not the cupboard - yet. A slug? I could cope with that though I must admit it's a bit disturbing for it to be actually in the loo itself!! We've also had a surfeit of ants too but that's been dealt with thankfully. Where do these critters come from and why do they want to explore indoors when there's the great wide world outside?????

We lived in a very old cottage and it was entirely normal to have slugs trotting across the carpets. But never in the loo as far as I recall!

I'd be very surprised but happier to meet a hen pheasant in our loo in the dead of night!

No help with slugs in the toilet, but at present, there is a hen pheasant eating the wild strawberries that grow in profusion around our summerhouse.

Euggggghhhh. I have no other words of support sorry!!!
