If you put saucers of beer out for the slugs, the slugs die in the beer.

Years ago, we had a major slug problem - I bought cheap disposable pie
tins and the cheapest beer I could find. It worked amazingly well.
And the local birds seemed to appreciate the marinated slugs.

For some reason, my mind saw that as 'cheap disposable tie pins' - and I
spent half a minute trying to work out what possible part they had to
play in slug hunting.
