    A pensioner says she is "fed up" as a "plague" of giant slugs has been invading her home for months.<\/p>\n

    Rose Alexander, 67, managed to take a photo of one of the beastly slugs on the food recycling bin outside her home in Stenhouse, Edinburgh. <\/p>\n

    Last Christmas, Rose says the slimy creatures managed to get into her kitchen drawer as she was about to serve dinner, ruining the big meal for her family. <\/p>\n

    "They are very big and they are all over the garden and are getting into the kitchen through the back door," she told EdinburghLive. <\/p>\n

    <\/p>\n

    Rose reckons damp in her home is what is causing the slug problem. She says she has been battling with Edinburgh City Council to get a member of their repair team to come and look at the issue. <\/p>\n

    Rose also claimed the slugs have left her feeling anxious and depressed. <\/p>\n

    She said: "I am fed up of this plague of slugs getting into the house and I\u2019ve been waiting a long time for an appointment so that someone can come and look at the issue.<\/p>\n

    "They are causing me anxiety and I am finding them everywhere, in the food cupboards and in with my dishes.<\/p>\n

    <\/p>\n

    "I am just feeling fed up and depressed that I can\u2019t have a normal kitchen like everyone else.<\/p>\n

    "Last year I had one in the cutlery drawer as I was about to serve Christmas dinner.<\/p>\n

    "I threw the dinner in the bin, it spoiled our Christmas."<\/p>\n

    The council confirmed they are aware of the issue and said they will be looking into the problem.<\/p>\n
