Years ago I had a housemate and she told me that every night, a slug would leave a trail on her bedroom mat and this was going on for years. She could never find it or catch it.
She went away for a week or so for work so I poured some salt on her mat.
Next morning I go look and I find the slug stuck in the middle of the mat unable to escape.
Took a photo of it, tossed it out into the garden and vacuumed the mat.
Showed her the photo when she returned and told her what I had done. She was so relieved that the phantom slug had been dealt with.
This leads to more questions than answers for me.
Where was the slug coming from, and if it had got onto the mat despite the salt, why couldn't it go back the same way?
My guess is it got in through the window and was never able to find its way out and probably hid somewhere in her room during the day, coming out at night to uh... feast on... no idea.
It's probably like a fly, can find its way into houses and things but not get out. It probably found a way onto the mat through the least resistance and then didn't find a way back out by the time I found it.
Decoy slug.
What's a bedroom mat?
It’s a room with a big mattress you can sleep on - but please, my name’s not Matt.
