I'm with Sabra - what's wrong with slugs? I think they're kinda cute and harmless...
when one gets inside our home, I just gently pick it up with a piece of paper and put it outside the door.

There is no way I am looking! Nope....uh uh...nada.... No amount of money will entice me to look.

I hate bugs......especially slimy ones.

This weekend I made sure my birdfeeders were all full since the birds are starting to come back into my area. And now instead of slugs on the birdfeeders I have squirrels instead!!! YUUUUCK!!!

we used to have mean squirrels... my dad was doing yardwork one day and he kept getting hit by kernels of corn from neighbor's tree (they had one of those squirrel feeders where you put a corncob on a nail.) he thought the neighbor kids were playing a trick on him until he realized a squirrel was throwing corn at him from the tree. he has NEVER lived the one down!!!

At least it was only kernels! My grandmother once went out in her backyard to take laundry off the line and, well, they have a pear tree...
They also like the walnut tree pretty well, but never used the walnuts as ammo!
I personally like to squirrel-watch. One of my fave memories as a kid is of a White House lawn squirrel eating a cracker from my hand.

When we take breaks at work we sit at picnic tables that have been placed directly under a walnut tree. And the squirrels living in that tree DO use walnuts as ammo!!!! OUCH!!!


I can only speak for myself, but I rather be hit with corn!!!!

LOL that is too funny! Slugs are not too bad but it is super funny thinking of you finding it hanging out your window.

I used to salt slugs as a kid. In Georgia we get them in the summer time, so all the neighborhood kids would get together at night and go slug hunting. The girls would have the salt shakers and kill them and the boys came along behind us and picked them up and stuck them in a bucket. (Why they thought this was necessary, rather than just letting them shrivel and die, I still don't know to this day . . . little boys can be gross; that's the only reason I could ever think of, lol.) Good times, good times.

They are really gross, though . . . . I'm with you there. Maybe God sneezed during one of the days of creation . . . probably while making pepper.
