Over recent night i have been getting a number of slugs in my loft,
They are entering throught the white louver vents no bigger than a quarter inch gap. They are gone in the morning.

Any one know how to stop this

Thanks

spray some bleach on the outside of your louvers, or put small gauze over them,

bit of fine net curtain taped with gaffer tape

spray some jazs on the outside of your louvers that will stop them die lol

Does salt not stop them, seam to remember my old dear putting salt down in the garden.

works a treat but leaves a right mess....pete

always a good idea to put a fine gauze over the grilles as this will also stop mice.

copper wire round the vents rab but mind and clean it when it oxidises over,this will keep them away,tried this with my feeding bin and it worked until the copper oxidised

Slug guns, pellets,beer,slug pubs,hedgehoggs mmmmh. Whit a braw threed this is I'm aboot greetin wi laughter. How aboot sand paper aroon the vents ( ah kin hear the screems already )

slug pellets will poison your pigeons if picked up by the birds if you put down a layer of gravel around the lofts the slugs will not cross it

I bought stuff from B&Q that you mix up in a watering can and spray it over the area that is worst affected by the slugs/snails and watch what happens.

When you go out in the morning it'll be like a battle ground, dead slugs and snails everywhere.

I make a point in doing this every few weeks, it certainly keeps them away.

treat the hole garden with slug pellets and mesh over were they get in

its true about the beer,put some in a tray at the front of your loft you will be amazed !

apparently you can put a chalk line down and the slug wont cross it....strange
