Your home is a castle. Slugs are the gooey barbarians at the gate. You need a moat. But instead of water (which they love), use copper tape. They hate copper. It gives them a tiny electrical shock, like a static zap from a fluffy sweater.
Stick it around your door frames, your windowsills, and the base of your walls. It’s cheap, easy, and it looks kind of cool. Bonus: you’ll feel like you’re keeping out tiny, slimy vampires. (Coffin makers, take note.)
How to Get Rid of Slugs in Kitchens?
The Diatomaceous Earth Trap
Have you met diatomaceous earth? It’s like fluffy, white powder that looks innocent but is actually a microscopic shard factory. To a slug, it’s like crawling over a billion tiny razor blades. It dries them out from the outside in.
Sprinkle a thin line of it across your thresholds. Don’t clump it. They’ll just crawl over the clump like it’s a snowy hill. A light dusting is the sweet spot. They’ll reach the line, touch it, and immediately nope back outside.
