I have slugs crawling out of my kitchen sink drain. There were five of

rid of them? One of my ffriends told me to put a spoon full of salt
down the drain everytime I use the sink. House is on the sewer, PVC
pipe to the street, no trees in the path and otherwise no drainage
problems. Are they just coming up out of the sewer or should I expect
some type of damage to my plumbing?

I thought slugs ate plants. To get to your sink from the drain,
they'd have to submerge themselves in the trap. I don't think they
like to go underwater.


I doubt they are actual slugs, first they would be too big to get
out of the drain, usually over an inch long and as thick as a pencil.

I've seen little crawlies come out of a drain though, they do move
around like slugs, but they're tiny.

Almost anything will deal with them, hot water, bleach come to mind.

Just don't put any spare nuclear waste down there,
you'll get a Godzilla-slug.
