The real reason is simple, and it’s probably not what you think. Slugs come in because they smell food, shelter, or water, usually from the damp ground around your foundation. They can squeeze through gaps as thin as a piece of paper—wild, right? Once inside, they’re like tiny vacuum cleaners for mold, algae, and pet food crumbs.
It’s not personal, it’s survival. But if you’re tired of stepping on them barefoot (the world’s worst surprise), you need to think like a slug. Would you want to crawl across a sharp, dry, salty desert to get into a house? Probably not.
