Yes thats the solution .
Here is my story ,,,
Being single a pint of milk would last several days, so i used to use cartons of skimmed milk and never bothered putting it in the fridge, one day i made a cup of tea , put the milk in and mmm it had a funny taste to it, so thinking it was just a poorly made brew made another , again the same strange taste, so this time decided to throw the milk away and open a new carton.
Tipped the carton up into the sink and nothing ,,, no milk ? turned the carton over and blocking the hole in the corner was a SLUG.
It must have slipped in during the night and drowned,,,,,,,,,
Thats was over 10 years ago and the guy in the local shop still refers to milk that i buy as "Slug Milk"
So yes out came the salt and went to war on the slugs ,, as soon as that salt went down no more slugs.
A few years ago my boyfriend worked on a small industrial estate. The guys in the unit next door were feeling a bit rough after a night out. They made themselves a cup of tea. Still feeling bad they made more tea. Next day some were ill enough to be off work. Came back to work, got ill again. Drank more tea. Still ill...
Eventually someone took the lid off the kettle. And found the remains of a mouse that they'd be boiling up to make tea for a week or so....
