I know this is not a garden Question, but you may be able to help.
My daughter is having problems with little black slugs in the kitchen.
Anyone know how to rid?

Late night visits with the salt cellar!

I've wondered about making up a salt solution (in water) and spraying
areas
and plants affected with that.

I have a feeling that spraying plants with a salt solution will not do the
plant
any good and may kill it!

Yes - in my very first garden when I was 18........I had some lovely
French beans coming up which were being decimated by slugs, so I went
out and sprinkled salt on the ground and the plants.Two days later
they were totally dead - both the slugs and the bean plants!
