Years ago I had a housemate and she told me that every night, a slug would leave a trail on her bedroom mat and this was going on for years. She could never find it or catch it.
She went away for a week or so for work so I poured some salt on her mat.
Next morning I go look and I find the slug stuck in the middle of the mat unable to escape.
Took a photo of it, tossed it out into the garden and vacuumed the mat.
Showed her the photo when she returned and told her what I had done. She was so relieved that the phantom slug had been dealt with.
Maybe this is a regional specific thing, but if I kept finding a weird streak in my bathroom, I would never in a million years assume a sneaky slug suspect.
This was in her bedroom, and it looked like the regular snail or slug slime trail.
If you had seen it in person, you'd have known.
Of I misread it was in her bedroom. That's waaaay worse! I wouldn't be able to sleep with a rogue slug on the loose.
