The other evening when my son was having a rough night I walked in to nurse him and as I’m doing so, I notice this “leaf” thing on the carpet making a mental note to grab it once I laid him back down. I glanced back up and it was now in a different position further away from me. As I watched it I was contemplating whether my eyes were freaking out on me, or if I was seeing this correctly. I got up and thought it looked a bit like a centipede. Gross, come on now why would such a thing be in the furthest part of the house? I ran out to grab my husband and he scoured the room looking for clues and nothing was to be had except that this was a slimy SLUG!

I understand the weather is changing but a slug, really? What is even more frustrating is that we have a Pest Control Company that comes out once a month to treat these things and I’ve noticed no difference for the most part. I walked outside and found 5 tree spiders hanging out in their webs and another one my husband walked directly into, that formed over night. Walking out the front door for church that morning we saw another “gi-normous” slug as well. We took care of it promptly as Cooper crawls around everywhere.

Now, this morning, I walked into the kitchen to make coffee and there was this film on my rug that lies below the sink. UGGGG okay now I am beyond frustrated. Something is wrong when you have more than one slug in your house in a 4 day period. It wasn’t spiders, although we have had a lot of them as well, one the size of a half dollar my husband killed the other night. He showed me a picture of it after he killed it and it was so large I jumped across the bed thinking it was still alive. Now spiders seem to be more common in the house, as I’ve never heard of anyone dealing with slugs. So…this morning I am waiting for three hours for the pest control to come back out and treat for all of these creepy crawlers.

I still haven’t found the slug from this morning and am pretty annoyed as my son gets into everything and I don’t want him finding this. Finally Pest control came out and treated very well. They said our vents outside were full of slug film and so he treated to prevent any further creepers from invading our house. At least there was an answer that helped my confusion subside a little bit.

Side note: While the pest control was out treating the house, I was making eggs for my son and I. To my surprise, I cracked an egg and there was blood and what looked like to me to be an embryo. I literally threw my hands in the air, looked at my son and said “we may have plenty more surprises the rest of the day, as this has all happened in the first couple hours of waking up.” The Pest guy looked at me as he was in the kitchen searching for the slug and then looked in the pan and said “that is disgusting, I can’t believe you just found blood in an egg.” GROSS I say!!!!!!
