Finding slugs in your home isn’t random — it’s usually a sign of excess moisture or easy entry points. Slugs are drawn to damp areas caused by leaks, poor ventilation, or condensation, and they can slip through tiny cracks around doors, windows, or foundations. Heavy rain, overwatered gardens, and debris near your house can also push them indoors.
While harmless, repeated slug visits often signal bigger issues like hidden leaks or poor drainage. Fixing moisture problems, sealing gaps, improving airflow, and keeping food and debris cleaned up will stop slugs and protect your home from mold and damage.
