[quote Now there are slugs - there doesn't seem any way to get rid of them except by using pellets and I'm not sure that works.
[/quote]

Try using polyurethane foam in a can or copper tape.  From what I've read the reason slugs get into the house is because they're always looking for food and they have a very good sense of smell.  Both of the above if applied correctly can mostly keep them out of the places in your house that you don't want them to be, it's impossible to stop them entirely though unless you're a keen gardener who regularly clears them out of the garden.  No slugs in the garden means none in the house and there are a few ways of removing or at least controlling the amount of them in your garden.  The pellets are designed to kill them and they should work if they fall for it, don't ever underestimate their ability to learn things though, in order to survive one must learn new things and adapt to its surroundings, all creatures have this ability...

I've heard straw mulch is good but haven't as yet found a place which sells it

Salt can keep them out too, it will kill them if they try to get in and again you'd have to line all entrances from outside with the stuff, careful though, it will also kill your plants and you can just imagine the mess, lol, but hey, it's known to keep those pesky dark magical creatures out to, damned goblins :P

Yes I know that, my son has emptied my salt dispenser, we notice them on the drive when it's been raining but not if the weather is dry

I hope you mean slugs there and not goblins, I definitely wouldn't like to see a goblin no matter the weather. :p

"Slugs and snails go crazy for citrus or melon rinds, small piles of oatmeal or bran, moistened dry dog food and of course shallow pans of beer. Any of these under a board will really provide a slug gathering spot."

Try the above taken from a website I've been looking at on a rainy day, use a large margarine tub instead of a board and prop it up with something, surround both the outside and inside of it with salt to ensure they don't come again :)

Now all I need is a way to make my fortune out of selling dead slugs, there must be somebody out there interested in them :)

Good thinking, just ensure doesn't drink the beer or decide to snack on the bait for himself whilst at it :P

Have you heard about my obs er interest in Richard III then?

It was too far away from the shops! Shall go there next time, there was a free video screening someone said,
I really think he should have been buried at Middleham in Yorkshire with his wife,  Anne Neville and their son, Edward.
