I seem to have snails in my bath. They are hiding under the shower panel now but I think they must have come in somewhere else. How can I find out where they are getting in and how do I get rid of them?
Have asked other half to remove shower panel off bath to let me clean but he wont ( or cant - doesn't matter amounts to same thing) so how can I get under said screen and get the bugs out?

Oi !! This our shed and hideaway ... not sure if women allowed ;-)

Nah, the Shed is a different place entiely where they all talk in a frperg pbqr. I've never been able to jbex vg bhg.
Follow the slippery, shiny trail that they leave. Reminds me of an old joke, best not go there.
I'd suggest beating other half into submission. You clearly haven't trained him well enough :-)
Not sure what you mean by 'shower panel'? HTH if you could clarify.
We already have Lino Expert. She is of the female persuasion....
Snails are very partial to damp/wet conditions. Any sign of leaks from/ around the bath/shower? If the grouting/silicone is leaking, that needs fixing first.
If everywhere inside your gaff is bone dry, they'll probably bugger off. But if the area around your house is like a jungle, you can be sure they're lurking ready to dash back into you house. Salt on the floors (particularly if you can blow in under the skirting) can be used as a barrier. Or use the classic gardeners trap - jam jar, with a bit of beer in the bottom.
Is Heather Mills halfway there?
And me.
I used to see the odd slug or slug trail in the bathroom. When I stripped it out to refit, I found an old hole through the wall at soil level (presumably for an old waste pipe). After filling it in ~8 years ago, never seen another slug indoors.
So, girls are allowed then?
Wonder if she uses a sander or immac?

How far from the coast are you? They might be whelks coming up the sewer outfall.
Yes.
Of course women are allowed!
As long as they don't have a list of jobs they want doing ...

I have occasional inroads of woodlouses. I think they come down the chimney as there's no other explanation for them being in the lounge of a warm dry first floor flat.

Good. I like girlies. I have 4. 1 x wife, 2 x daughters, 1 x granddaughter. I think they improve men no end.
As in the song "I'll kipper whelk home in the eel side"?

As long as they don't have pigtails and freckles, yes
