If slugs and snails drink salty water or salty beer, will it or can it kill them?

    Bit of a waste of salt.

    I just cut them in half with a pair of scissors, they act then like a natural bait for other slugs that will come to feast on them, so pop back in a couple of hours. This works very well if you pile them all together near to a notorious slug neighbourhood.

    Please ignore everything I say, I make it up as I go along, not only do I generally not believe what I write, I never remember it either.

          Do they have sharp teeth? I thought slugs were very tough.

                    Love that ..
                    my land is next to a disused railway embankment which is covered in every sort of weed imagineable - there are millions of slugs in it - its a veritable slug slum -
                    but my plot is very classy so they are a little reticent in setting foot - i do have the posh area police handy (chickens) if necessary.....
