Do you see that trail? There was one almost every morning trailing from our sliding glass door to under our kitchen table and back to the sliding glass door. There was no hole that I could find. I have no idea where it is coming from or where it is going! Thankfully I've never seen the actual creature in our home.
I didn't want to ask anyone if they'd ever dealt with such an issue because, really, wouldn't your first thought be, "um, maybe you should clean your house more often?" I think it is so disgusting that we had a visiting slimy creature. So, I Googled it. Yup. It's a problem for others as well. *Insert sigh of relief*
I was kind of convinced it was living under our media cabinet, but was too afraid to look. I made Bryan do it! He had his flashlight and said, "Wow. I found it." He was dead serious and I about cried. I knelt down beside him (really I was cowering behind him, peeking over his shoulder). "Oh MY GOSH. IT'S HUGE", came out of my mouth. Then laughter. It wasn't a big, brown slug. It was a brown toy muffin.
My plan of action after Googling for 30 minutes? Salt everywhere. Ha. The trail was around the sliding door, so I put a ginormous line of salt outside the sliding door and inside. I almost used an entire thing of salt.
I'm proud to say, no more slime trail. I will keep pouring out the salt to keep that trail away.
Yuck. Yuck. Yuck!

That is hilarious! So glad its your house and not mine. I do not deal well with creepy crawlies in my house. But I think your salt idea is GENIUS!
