...I'm not kidding!
Every night 1 or 2 slugs appear from seemingly nowhere and crawl around all
over the floor in my hallway, dining room and louge. The floors are stripped
wood so I guess they might be able to get through a small crack somewhere. I
thought if I waited a while they'd die - lack of food. No such luck.

But how can I get rid of them? I can hardly start laying slug pellets around
my floors! Is there something I can put down they'll be attracted to that
will then kill them that's not messy all over my house?
Help!!

I had this problem some years ago in a rented house. They were
coming from the cellars and under the door. The only non-toxic
precaution I could find is salt, but I guess you don't want your
floors looking like a salt mine either.

What is under your floors?

Try slug pellets around the outside of the property, they do seem
to have an attractant, which may be enough to entice them away.
