All too often, I have found slugs on my kitchen floor. I think they get in through the gap in the masonry where the washing machine drains out. Mostly the recent visitors have been what I have now identified as Leopard Slugs which, according to the info on the net are not a threat to plants but are actually beneficial as they eat the slugs that do destroy our plants. So I will no longer wrap up my guests in kitchen paper and dump them in the bin, but carefully put them as far from my kitchen as I can manage in the dark! I hope they will repay my kindness by consuming their pernicious relatives.

I’ve read recently that slugs have a very strong homing instinct. We used to have one appear in the kitchen regularly, and as DH used to sling it out of the front door it was possibly the same one coming back. 
We had no more visitations after I put copper tape round the dishwasher the trail always led to. We found it that same night exploded into three gruesome blobs across the kitchen floor.
