    Hello & welcome to the forum sprite.

    Slugs and snails are a problem inside a greenhouse, what you do about them depends on how 'green' you are and what plants you are growing. I tend to use slug pellets every now and then, at this time of year most of my plants are big enough to withstand a few nibbles from slugs so they aren't such a worry. Earlier in the year the tender young seedlings can all be devastated by just one slug, so its more improtant then to remove them.

    So what are you growing in there?
