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...

You could use beer traps but water doesn't work. They seem to just
climb out of the buckets when I've tried that. Salt water kills them.
