I had some houseplants sitting on my garage floor for several weeks this summer. Bringing them inside now, I see a huge yellow slug and a small one, along with unhatched eggs. How do I eradicate them? Thank you.

Expert Response
The slugs won't be able to survive indoors for long. Handpicking and throwing away the slugs and the eggs should be enough to solve the issue. If you missed any eggs, reduce the watering frequency for the coming weeks, since slugs prefer moist environments.
