Your kitchen isn’t dirty; it’s just inviting. Here’s the checklist for a slug-friendly home. Moisture is the main event: a leaky faucet, damp dish towel, or a forgotten pot of pasta water overnight is like a neon sign.

But they’ll also eat decomposing organic matter, so your compost bin or that old sponge is a buffet. Hiding spots matter too: cluttered corners, under the fridge, or a damp cardboard box are their hotels.
