Dealing with slugs in your home? 🐌 These slimy invaders can quickly become a nuisance, leaving unsightly slime trails on floors, walls, and around doorways. While slugs are generally harmless, their presence indoors is definitely unwelcome. PEST-SHIELD offers expert slug control in Newcastle, Sunderland, Durham, and surrounding areas, ensuring your home is slug-free and protected from future infestations. Don’t wait for the problem to worsen—take control now!
Slugs love damp environments, making properties in Newcastle, Sunderland, and Durham especially vulnerable, especially after heavy rainfall. Here’s why they might be heading into your home:
Moisture: Slugs are moisture-dependent. They enter your property through cracks in walls, doorways, or air bricks in search of hydration.
Damp Areas: Kitchens, bathrooms, basements, and even areas with leaky pipes or poor ventilation provide the perfect shelter for slugs.
If you’re seeing slugs indoors, there’s a high chance they’ve found the perfect breeding ground. Act now before they start causing more damage!
For the best results, here’s how you can prepare your home before our technician arrives:
1️⃣ Leave Slime Trails Intact: These trails help our technician pinpoint slug hotspots.
2️⃣ Address Damp Issues: Use a dehumidifier to reduce moisture levels inside your home. The more you control the dampness, the less likely slugs will return.
3️⃣ Seal Entry Points: Ensure all cracks, air bricks, and gaps around doors are sealed to prevent slugs from entering.
Once we’ve treated your property, here’s what you need to do to keep slugs out for good:
✅ Let the Treatment Dry: Don’t clean or wipe up treated areas until fully dry. This ensures the solution works effectively.
✅ Keep Moisture Low: Continue using your dehumidifier and ventilate damp areas to discourage slugs from returning.
✅ Outdoor Proofing: Trim back overgrown vegetation, and move items like wood piles, plant pots, and debris away from your home’s perimeter. These act as shelters for slugs.
✅ Block Entry Points: Seal cracks, gaps, and air bricks to stop slugs from finding their way in. We offer stainless steel mesh air brick covers for extra protection.
✅ Use Slug Pellets Cautiously: If you’re using pellets outdoors, ensure they’re placed away from areas where slugs are likely to enter your home. Be mindful of pets and wildlife.
At PEST-SHIELD, we use an eco-friendly Yucca plant extract repellent spray, combined with a residual insecticide for long-lasting protection. Our treatment works by:
Repelling Slugs: The natural repellent keeps slugs away from your home.
Residual Insecticide: If needed, we apply insecticide to active areas to eliminate slugs and prevent them from returning for up to 3 months!
Slugs are moisture-dependent, so by addressing dampness and sealing entry points, you can drastically reduce the risk of re-infestation.
