2. How Slugs Actually Get Inside (It’s Easier Than You Think)\
Many people imagine pests entering through obvious holes. Slugs don’t need that.
Because they have soft, flexible bodies, slugs can squeeze through openings thinner than a coin.
Entry points often overlooked:
- The tiny gap under exterior doors
- Cracks in old caulking around windows
- Gaps where pipes enter the house
- Hairline foundation cracks
- Dryer vents or basement window frames
Once a slug finds a safe path inside, it will return again and again—especially at night
What to do:
- Replace worn door sweeps
- Reseal windows and doors with waterproof caulk
- Check foundation walls annually
- Install copper strips near common entry points (slugs avoid copper)
