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...

Beer - I don't drink so would have to buy it special and buying a pint
for the local slugs and snails seems a bit of an etagere given I do have
salt. :-)

Water - Tried that before and they just keep climbing out when you turn
your back. And contrary to popular opinion, they can half shift when
motivated.
