Our New Alarm Clock


We have a new way to be woken up in our house. It is a slug alarm... yes I said slug as in the slimy, squishy worm like creature. We have an alarm by our sump pumps that detect water so that we know if there is a problem. Well, lately the problem has been that slugs keep crawling on the alarm, complete the circuit and the alarm goes off. One morning at 5 am, 11 pm. Apparently slugs come out when people are sleeping. On the plus side, the time it went off at 5am, Louie actually didn't set his alarm and he needed to be up. So, we are faced with the decision of taking out the alarm and risking a basement flood or leaving it and facing getting woke up at bizarre times of the day. Why would a slug like this thing so much? I just don't get it!
