Slugs, like most small pests, get into the house through small 鈥渉oles鈥–cracks, vents, gaps in windows or doors, or even where pipes enter the home–virtually any sliver of an opening is an invitation. And they can climb and travel upside down once they get there.
You need to clear leaf and other debris from around the house and fill the gaps above. Some sources recommend a sealant in a tube (home supply stores have many choices) and some say slug baits work. You could spread gravel or diatomaceous earth outside; they can not crawl over rough surfaces. Or get a duck or two; they eat slugs.
