Nocturnal Visitors

Well, two days ago His Lordship discovered a slug trail in the living room, great. So, I instantly went on the internet to see what can be done about this. Firstly, it's apparently very common, secondly, you aren't supposed to put slug pellets down as it encourages them to come in and thirdly, there's not much you can do apart from bleach the area or put salt down. So, naturally we used bleach and thoroughly cleaned the floor, we also shampooed the rug. Then we left it a day and last night came back to a very small trail, so the problem hadn't been solved.

To this morning, I turn the light on in the living room on my way out to work in the wee small hours and there is Monsieur Slug next to the TV bold as brass, so quick as a flash I grabbed the cooking salt, poured it over it and then covered it with a glass. I left His Lordship to clean it up when he got up!?! Let's hope that it was one on it's own!

In other news, it's going to snow tomorrow, it's been sleeting and hailing all morning and as usual the Great British Driver can't cope, so I had a busy morning reporting on the various road accidents. I shall look forward to my early morning drive tomorrow.

This is why cats are ace....

I can't believe you would kill a slug like that? My dogs would love those cats.
