Put on a headlamp and grab a pair of disposable chopsticks. Go on a midnight patrol. Slugs are most active after dark. You’ll find them sliding along walls or under furniture, looking super guilty.
Pick them up (yes, it’s icky) and drop them into a bucket of soapy water. They die quickly. It’s gross, but also oddly satisfying—like a video game where you’re the hero.
Sing a little theme song while you hunt. I recommend the Mission: Impossible theme. It makes you feel like a secret agent with a slime problem.

Plus, you’ll have nice, crisp air. It’s like telling the slugs, “Sorry, the spa is closed for renovations.”
If you don’t own a dehumidifier, open windows on dry days, or use a fan. Slugs hate wind. They’d rather stay outside and eat your garden.
