This method is fine other than requiring quite a strong stomach and no sense of smell. The death pot is opaque though, so I don't have to watch them suffer.

Digs.

Over a hundred posts on Slug extermination. Good thread! The next challenge may be for a more inane thread

I win that every year. I am saving up this year, just using slugs as a tester for the YD appetite for drivel.

Digs.

I have a Neighbour who brews from any ingredients. He has to fill his time now he's on his own. The tea-bag (no euphemism) wine, was actually rather good

To be eco -friendly, suggest de-sliming, quick boil and then brew Slug. I have a ref for 24% producing ABV yeast without distillation. That will kill the lung-flukes. I now have my summer project! Thanks

So you went for the least humane on the basis you don't have the stomach for scissors, which are quite humane?

Seriously?

You've turned into James. Ask question. - do the opposite. Tsk.

Personally, I am going to the local Hedgehog rescue center and letting them release thier repaired hogs in my garden. 2500 square meters of trees and wood piles. The little buggers will think they are living the dream.

Am I the only one thinking "they are fecking slugs, just lash the salt on"?

What is the world coming to if people are THAT politically correct?

FFS grow a pair of balls !!!

The use of salt is not recomended. Neither are slug pellets (toxic to birds)
The problem being salty dead slugs being eaten by the song birds and then the birds getting terminally ill.
No birds more slugs.
Answer sprinkle porradge oats about the garden (Raw and un salted) the slugs and snails die birds eat snails and oats, birds sing and are happy then shit all over the car in appretiation.
