Kate The Slug Catcher's Response to zoodemon's Review

I found this review very helpful because... I have problem with slugs but in the house.

<br/>I have read in messages on the internet when I searched of people finding one small on in the fridge and others in a second floor bathroom and also climbing the lounge curtains.

<br/>Still may be I can get rid of a few.
