Of course slug treatments would make them less

The only slug treatments here are provided by the occasional nocturnal
expedition with bucket of salty water to locate those not already
dealt with by the healthy resident population of hedgehogs, frogs and
toads. I've noticed blackbirds flying off with the odd slug too!

I reckon that's enough to deter any slug from eating your succulent
leaves. I could *almost* feel sorry for your poor gastropods.

What do you do with your bucket of salt and snails? I can't imagine
you'd put them on the compost heap ... far too unhealthy for your army
of mollusc-munchers. Sewer, perhaps?
