Dina- How could drunk slugs not make someone smile, right?

I'm sorry...but your drunk slugs made me smile...

2009-07-15T01:13:28.243+10:00

I'm sorry...but your drunk slugs made me smile.

I'm sorry they're giving you a hard time, but they are kind of cute.

Ants are a pain. We haven't had problems with them in our house for awhile (knock on wood!!!)

2009-07-14T09:52:30.460+10:00

Angel- I had Huntsmen spiders in my old house like once or twice a month-- those beasts will scare the hell out of you-- hopefully yours are a little smaller!

Melissa- I actually am not even trying to get rid of the slugs they're my new housemates who only come out at night- ewww.

Marvin- And I thought we had finally got rid of the ants and now they're back.

Wow, you've got it worse than we ever had it, ...

2009-07-14T02:54:10.180+10:00

Wow, you've got it worse than we ever had it, and I thought we had ants BAD. Thank God for pyrethrins by the bucket.

2009-07-12T05:17:53.406+10:00

OMG how do you do it? I would die. In fact, I thought Iw as going to, in my dreams last night. I have a massive bug fear. And I read your post yesterday. And last night I dreamed I was fillin up the bathtub and out of the drain come of the army of ants. And some slugs. Not happiness. I would seriously be thinking baout moving, AND want my deposit back!

I have spiders in my really old house. Tiny spiders. Ants, too, of course.

2009-07-07T21:35:06.181+10:00

Gypsy-- I'll keep the ants, you keep the mouse. Makes you glad you have your own problems and not someone else's right?

Rassles- I know.. UGGS, like UGGS Australia-- sometimes I really crack myself up. ba hahaha

2009-07-07T05:54:08.318+10:00

"Slugs in my Uggs"

PAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

It's funny because you're in Australia.

PAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

This is me, pointing out the obvious.

ZODDERM!

2009-07-07T00:38:29.820+10:00

I'm pretty sure there's a mouse in my house. This is not ok.

2009-07-06T10:48:52.877+10:00

Steck= That does sound delicious. Hmmm, I'll have to go on meetup.com-- we had plans for Sunday with other expat bloggers!

JD- I'm sorry, I know it's wrong.

Hereinfranklin- You were channeling my thoughts??

Hah--I must be physic, because I don't remembe...

2009-07-06T04:34:53.740+10:00

Hah--I must be physic, because I don't remember that post. However, a few days ago something with wings flew into my hair and got stuck there. It was a baby bird, but at first I thought it was a bat. I guess I'm a little obsessed.

Flying ants . . . ? I just died a little bit.

2009-07-05T11:55:56.083+10:00

The solution is to keep a container of melted chocolate handy -- choco-covered ants are yummy!

And speaking of ants, the American and Canadian expat groups on Meetup.com are having a North American Solidarity picnic at Centennial Park at 11 a.m. on Sunday, July 12. The more, the merrier (ants excepted).

2009-07-05T01:51:32.158+10:00

Ian- I have heard about the salt, but now that I'm used to them, I'm not so sure I should kill them.

Ana- Did you like the slug show tonight?

MamaBird- I was not aware of the oatmeal trick-- I'll have to think about that.

Here in Franklin- Yes, at least it's not bats-- and I'm assuming you say that because you saw my post about the bet invasion?? I hope so, or else you are totally a psychic.

Ewwww. Didn't you just move into this place? C...

2009-07-04T02:33:59.693+10:00

Ewwww. Didn't you just move into this place? Can't you threaten the realtor or something for nondisclosure of pests and vermin? And isn't it winter there? I thought bugs went away in the winter. But, on the bright side, at least it's not bats.

2009-07-03T22:51:13.393+10:00

We used Ant Rid when we lived in Australia and it worked perfectly and got rid of our ants. If you want something organic, my Mom uses 50% vinegar and 50% water with a few drops of dishwashing liquid and says it works a treat.

As for slugs, you can also sprinkle oats around where they are. They will eat them and it will dehydrate them and kill them. This also works with ants.

Good luck. I hate both ants and slugs. But at least it's not cockroaches. That is one pest I CANNOT deal with. Gross.

2009-07-03T20:23:47.808+10:00

They got drunk and came back for more. What do you expect, they're Australian. Ha Ha. Disclaimer - I can say that I'm an Aussie.

Ants on the ceiling.....cikey...sounds like an Indiana Jones film...

Can't help you on the ants but I do know that slugs don't like salt - it dries them up apparently. Or put broken eggshells around the plant - unless that will attract the ants. Then there would be an ant vs slug battle......

Chitown- I know it's like you think they'r...

2009-07-03T13:08:41.512+10:00

Chitown- I know it's like you think they're crawling on you-- awful.

Brutalism- Yes at least their skin is so so soft.

Felicia- Oh no-- 2 years-- ugh!

Rinniez- I know, wanna come over?

FreeMan- I hate bug spray-- but looks like hardcore poison is the only mf option.

2009-07-03T12:32:23.996+10:00

It's too dry here for slugs, but we get more than out fair share of ants. I spent the summer battling the bastards. And I don't go for this natchy shit - give me the hardcore poison!

2009-07-03T12:20:30.108+10:00

ewww eeww ewwwwwww ewwwwwwww i dont know how you are still in that house... sounds like something from a horror film... Revenge of The Ants and the sequel Revenge of The Slugs.
eeekkkk! hope you can get rid of them asap! xx

2009-07-03T11:29:34.933+10:00

If they were living in the walls of my house and dropping from the ceiling, I would be moving. Gotta love the drunken slugs.

Living in the WALLS of your house? Geez. How scary...

2009-07-03T01:15:17.775+10:00

Living in the WALLS of your house? Geez. How scary and creepy! I hope you can get rid of them soon.
I waged a battle of my own for about 2 years ago. I would plug a hole and they would find another way in. It was a nightmare. Nowhere near as bad as what you described though. Yikes.
I'm itchy now.

aaaahhhhhh! I do like the visual of the moisturize...

2009-07-03T00:50:04.795+10:00

aaaahhhhhh! I do like the visual of the moisturized dead ants and the inebriated slugs sleeping it off...

After all of the to-do from PETA after Obama swatted a fly a couple of weeks ago, I'd keep this all on the down low...
