Do slugs come into your house? Updated with video p4

We get slugs coming in overnight - we come downstairs to find slug trails on the carpet. MrH takes it as an invasion of his privacy and doesn't believe that normal people have slugs coming into their houses.

We get slugs coming in overnight - we come downstairs to find slug trails on the carpet. MrH takes it as an invasion of his privacy and doesn't believe that normal people have slugs coming into their houses. In fact, he's even embarrassed about me posting this in case you think we have a dirty house or something. He fears it's the thin end of the wedge - first slugs, then hedgehogs, then badgers etc. It's normal though isn't it? Annoying, but not all that unusual? ?

Anyway, last night he was a bit preoccupied and when we got to bed he let on that he'd set up a webcam with time-lapse photography to track the slug and find out how it's getting in ?

THis morning he watched the whole lot and established a SET (slug emergence time) of 4:20 am ? I fear tonight he might sit up and catch it ?

    I think someone has faaaaaaaaaaar too much time on their hands, and should probably be changing more nappies, making more cups of tea and providing more cake.

    Well it might be tempting to agree but he did let me go out on the booze last night despite a phenomenal projectile vom from the young lady half an hour before my lift was due so honesty compels me to sing his praises. And he is reading this thread ?

    ?@ slug cam

    We don't get them here (being a first floor flat probably helps) but when I lived at home we'd wind up with loads of them.

    I agree with aurora, it'd be good to try and get more. (Well it would be good to make us laugh, not good for you obviously)

    I hope you mean David Attenborough? It's not Ghandi you know - no slug crowd scenes ?

    Loving the video, Hilda's appearance just as the singing kicks in was pure genius.

    ? Brilliant video and sound track!!! We have slugs making their way into our house through a gap between the door and the frame. I heard that the silvery trails act as markers and that they follow it though I can't confirm this.
