We've just found a six inch long leopard slug wandering over our living
room floor. The only way, we think, that it could have got so far into
the house was up through the floorboards! At least it was heading for
the kitchen door and out into the garden. Keith picked it up in a bit
of kitchen roll (yuck), and popped it out onto the far side of the
garden, well away from our plants. Is this a record for a slug found
indoors?

Phone the Guinness Book of Records and ask them :-)

The other common way for slugs to come into houses is in soil of plants
in pots or on the plants themselves, and of course on lettuces, though
they would be *mostly* smaller ones!

It's odd, isn't it, that we find slimy things a cause for "yuck". I have
no phobias involving wildlife but I still prefer not to pick slugs up in
my bare fingers.
