      Okay, My washing machine broke down.(leaking water, so it was nice and wet) After pulling the thing out and fixing it. What i found Behind it was loads and loads, over a 1000(i kid you not) or more of little white balls. On closer inspection and ‘disection’, they felt like polystyrene balls that they fill beanbags with.. 😕
      Now i live in an estate that has a slug problem. It is the olny insect/bug/whatever that has ever invaded the kitchen. I can only assume that they come from the slug in some way.
      I have tried to find out what they are by researching, but i have found diddly squat!!
      I have looked up eggs and their poop! but i can’t see anything that describes what i have or any images.. The images of eggs are completey different. Too the naked eyes these little white balls have no nucleus, for what i can see. They are dry and not stuck together like you would imagine slugs eggs to be.
      I don’t want to "fix" the problem without knowing what they are "exactly"…

      If anyone else has had this problem or know what they are please let me know.. It’s driving me crazy. They have to come from the slugs, but what are they? poop or eggs? or something else entirely???

      Thanks

      I assume from my past experience they are slug eggs they got into the machine and eat something and couldn’t get out the rest I leave for your imagination. 😀
      do slugs use darts for sex like snails or they are different? 😕

      I don’t know diddly about slugs except roughly what they look like. Do these white things look anything like the following?

      Maybe yours have dried out some?
