We have this problem permanently as the slugs come into the house by
courtesy of our long haired cat.

Yes, our previous cat (Maine Coon) put one in the bed once!

If you do succeed in finding a solution please let us know as I've
tried all the suggested cures without any success whatsoever. In due
course circumstances occur that the slug and one of the family are at
the same place at the same time and the offender gets ejected - it's
just as well the slugs aren't any larger or that could be the family
member !!

We cut it down a great deal by putting down slug pellets outside
occasionally. This was possible because (a) the cat wouldn't touch them
and (b) you scatter them thinly so it's a majpr task for anything else
to eat a lot of them.

Latest cat is short haired so that at least is eliminated.
