Those slimy visitors are often the first visible sign that your home is holding too much moisture. Behind quiet corners and beneath floors, small leaks, trapped humidity, and poor ventilation can slowly feed mold, mildew, and decay. Slugs simply follow what your house is already offering: darkness, dampness, and unnoticed entry points that have been ignored for too long.

When they appear repeatedly, it’s less about pests and more about your home asking for help. Sealing cracks, drying out rooms, fixing leaks, and clearing soggy debris outside does more than stop slugs; it restores balance to the space you live in. The unsettling truth is that those trails on your floor may be mapping out every place your house is starting to fail. Listen now, before the damage grows silent and out of sight.
