Salt and slugs

Our slug and snail population, which was HUGE was decimated by visits from song thrushes last year. I really don't like killing things so I just let the garden get it's own balance and after a few years it did.
Although the plants are now knocking on the kitchen windows like triffids

They are triffids; they just got too big for my garden.Although the plants are now knocking on the kitchen windows like triffids

I dispose of slugs and snail by chucking them into the garden of the unoccupied house next door.

There was this slug in my garden the other day said exactly the same about you! 
I've had some absolute whopping great slugs find thier way into my kitchen, god knows how. I scoop 'em up with a spoon and launch them over the garden wall.
Have liberally sprinkled lots and lots of slug pellets around the garden and back yard for the last year and seems to do the trick.
The pellets can make them die a long drawn out death, one big beast left a 3ft long trail of "guts" before it died.. yuk.
if you want to set a humane slug trap, scoop out a tin of dog food, and drop in the bottom of a gallon bucket and leave in the garden, youl have every slug for miles sat at the bottom by the next morning,
i drive the bucket ( sealed) to the park and set them free,
but then i spend hours rescuing wasps from my living room as well

I spotted a couple of rogue slugs slithering across the kitchen floor so I thought I'd administer some ointment before they started breakdancing (or whatever else they intended on this fair Apr Morn).

I thought salt was bad for them. Now I know it is.
WTF is that all about ? They were popping and spitting like a De-catted Cerbera on steroids.
Sorry, slugs. :
if you really want to know why they popped and banged its becaus the salt reacts with the slime on their bodies......its the equivalent to us having sulphuric acid poured over us....please dont do it, its not nice, just stamp on the ff

kers, puts them out of their missery instead of toturing them.If it's any consolation, they died pretty quickly from what I could see. Next time, I'll just chuck them out. To be fair, they have been taking the piss for ages. They constantly steal the cats food and bathe in the cats water. Maybe murder was a bit harsh but I believe it was better than stoning them with sand or grains of rice like they do in pakistan.
