E-45-WSlugs are soft-bodied, grayish or mottled, slimy creatures that can sometimes measure up to 4 inches in length, although most grow to only 1 1/2 inches. Slugs feed on molds and decaying organic matter, but may also feed on the foliage of plants. They must have a large amount of moisture to survive, and they prefer darkness. Ideal habitats include damp basements, beneath boards, trash and other debris, and in crevices. In gardens, mulches of leaves grass, or other organic materials may encourage slug problems. In greenhouses, rotting boards, flower pots, and debris beneath the benches usually harbor these pests. Excessively rainy and damp weather promotes slug development, especially if temperatures are high.
