Every night these little crawly critters come out to play, and they annoy me .I have tried to sprinkle salt around the back doors, but they manage to come back. Any suggestions on how I can get rid of them. Cheers Sue

I use slug pellets that I buy from the shop, and they do work well for me. I have also used salt, and it has also worked, so I am unsure... I always thought that salt was quite effective as it dries them out. I hate these slugs too, especially when they get in with my growing veg!

I don't know.....but right now I got ants..at the back door marching through the kitchen like they own the place...I'll try pepper first....that usually works....dusting the threshhold with pepper...
