Snails in the house are an unpleasant thing. The snails come out in the dark and leave their slime everywhere. To control the snails, act immediately so that they do not lay eggs in the home.<\/p>\n

Snails in the house: what to do?<\/h2>\n

To get rid of the snail infestation in the house, first look in damp and dark places in the kitchen to see if you can find small holes, especially under the kitchen sink, in the outer walls, around the sewage pipes and the cold water pipes. Immediately seal any holes or cracks you find with cement, plaster or silicone. Other places where snails often enter the house are gaps under the front door.<\/p>\n

The next step against snails is to use snail poison to destroy as many snails as possible outside and thus reduce the number of snails that can come into the house. You can spread the snail poison thinly on tiles or concrete floor or put it in small heaps under the tiles. Snail poison is available in garden centres. However, the slug poison is usually meant to attract the slugs and then destroy them, so it is not a good idea to spread the poison in the home.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, you can't get rid of a snail infestation overnight, you need patience and must consistently apply countermeasures.<\/p>\n

5 Tips to get rid of slugs in the house<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
  1. The most effective way is to simply kill the snails in the house. This is a practical and quick solution if you are not squeamish. A pointed stick will do the trick. Just stick a stick into the snail and drop it into a bucket of water. If you would rather not do this yourself, ask someone to help you.<\/li>
  2. Sprinkle them with salt and they will be dead in a few minutes. Then you can get rid of them. Sea salt works better because it is coarser.<\/li>
  3. A bird bath or bird house is a great idea as these attract birds that eat the slugs. The fewer slugs there are in the garden or on the balcony, the fewer can get into the house.<\/li>
  4. Don't waste time with beer traps - too much depends on luck. If the snails don't go into the trap, they simply pass it by.<\/li>
  5. Make the ground around the house or flat unattractive to slugs. Add some tree bark around bushes or even better some gravel or fine grit.
    Avoid any kind of ground-covering plants, as slugs are experts at hiding under them. Try to plant flowers that do not cover the ground, keeping the soil well aerated.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
