Heavy rain, flooding, or extreme humidity outside often forces slugs to seek shelter indoors. If your yard or garden holds too much water, slugs may migrate toward your house.

Things to check outside:

Dense vegetation touching the house

Poor drainage around the home

What to do: Improve drainage, move mulch away from walls, and trim plants so they don’t touch the structure.

4. Food Sources Are Attracting Them

Slugs feed on organic material. Even small crumbs, pet food, or decomposing plant matter can attract them.
