SALT vs slugs

-

As an answer to Matt’s problem of visitors in his kitchen (CBG editorial, Dec 2020); just ordinary salt. In case you didn’t know, slugs hate it and it kills them. If you can find where they are coming from block the path. If not just spread it on the kitchen floor and sweep it up later. (You may get some dried up bodies!)

If you want to attract them then Guinness or Newcastle Brown does the job.

Put it in a container they can get into and leave it near their path. Only problem with that is you then have to get rid of a slimy, stinking mess!

I hate the buggers too! LOL
