I think the phrase is "frenzy of disgust"

Today I came down to log on and discovered, to my utter horror and nausea, that a SLUG had made itself at home underneath and between the keys in the number pad of my keyboard.

Yeah, you read that right.

A SLUG. IN MY KEYBOARD!

Urg, ew, ack. I may never feel clean again.

You probably don't want the details of how I disposed of it, suffice to say it employed salt and various extracting tools and the stiffest upper lip I could muster. Miraculously, the keyboard still works (unlike my peace of mind).

I've removed the little (sometimes big) bastards from my floors off and on since I moved in but this is the absolute limit.

Anyone got any advice on preventing future incursions? Or failing that, something really happy-making to rec?

All flinches gratefully accepted! *cringes in memory*

Just the thought- (Flinches) Eewwww!

I do know that if you place a metal band on the outside of a flower pot it stops the slugs, because they can't stick. So maybe a thin metal strip around your keyboard?

Hmm, I remember seeing on forums that copper tape works - maybe I'll just coat my whole ground floor in that! For now I'll be wrapping my keyboard up anytime it's not in use for sure.
