Just a word of warning when using salt, its bad for plants, and too much can be fatal for them.
A little known fact, Slugs have four noses.

Possibly because of osmosis, because the slug is semi-permeable osmosis extracts the water from the slugs body and kills it. The same could happen to you if you didn't have a less permeable skin!

Osmosis: water being drawn from a weaker salt solution to a stronger, through a semi-permeable membrane. Generally a good thing, unless you're slug in a salt pot.
