Paint all wood with cuprinol but only outer side (NOT INSIDE, or u wont breathe easily). Paint cuprinol outside on the brickwork below the damp course. Keep the inside of the house aired and warm. Slugs hate dry heat! Salt for quick kill is cheaper than any other products.
Thanks everyone! I will try pellets, just have to watch our cats. We have a little kitten at the moment, so it will be a little tricky. Last night (about 2am :-( I found big slug in my kitchen, just want to cry as I never experience anything like that before. So, fingers cross and I will follow yours advices. Thanks everyone.
I had the same problem at uni. We got rid in 2 ways.
Firstly a deep sided dish filled with beer- a beer trap. they cant resist (esp Budwieser), and fall in and drown.
Secondly we sprinkled a good band of salt across the threshold of the doors and windows. If a slug tries to tocuh it they will either recoil and not come in, or dissolve!
Took about 4days to get rid for good.
