After taking some advice, I have been popping today's collection of
slugs and snails, collected while weeding, into a bucket of salty
water to kill them.


Why salty water, cant you put ordinary water in? or at least give them
some beer...



What's wrong with pouring boiling water over them?

Worked for us for years.

Or is that tooooooooooooooooooooo simple????
