WOA !! you are going to kill your plant with the amount of salt it will represent in a couple of weeks!!
I would suggest to stop it now if you don't want to have a soil transformed into a "beach", salt is more harmful than the slug on this point as it will make the ground saline so not suitable for most plants!
Use the scissors method ( cut them in half ), or half ring of oranges or grapefruit close to your plants.... it does work as they love it and usually prefers it to plants so you just have to collect the ring with all the slug stuck on it...
If there is really too many, nemaslug is a good investment, I recommend it and I am on a student budget....
