Yea it is so silly
-
Yes and snails that insist on eating my plants
-
Yes..when I was pretty young. I had heard that it would melt them, but I didn't believe it. I felt SO bad afterwards.
-
Yes...once, and I sat watching it 'bubble.'! I wouldn't do it again, though....honestly!
-
yes until I realised that the sticky mess left afterwards attracts more of them to the garden (they can smell the flesh).

My sixth grade science teacher actually brought this to my attention & sure enough when I arrived at my house from school, I took a shaker of salt, when to where we had a big decorative rock in the front yard, picked it up and quickly found a slug because this rock was an insect haven. I then poured some salt on the poor creature and I heard it sizzling until dead. This was how my teacher taught me about osmosis.
-
No, too cruel for my taste.
-
No, I just put it salt on the patio, where for some reason they just loved leaving little shiny slime trails..I let them commit suicide LOL
-
Yes but I did it just to do it, one of those "how many things have you done in your life things"
-
Not me, but my father did and he also would pour a little beer on them.
-
No, but I've fed them beer and dog food. In the Pacific Northwest of the USA they have HUGE slugs called banana slugs. You could practically make a pet out of them they can be so big I'd never kill those. They are kinda cute :-)
-
Yes. I cannot stand those slimy things. They ate all of my marigolds, and other flowers. I salted more than 1000 on my first day of salting where we live now. They love Bud and will fall into a can or jar that is put into a hole that is level to the ground, drink until they get drunk and drown.

It's too dry where I live for slugs but my host mom in Germany used to do it and I felt so bad for the slugs! What a painful way to die.
-
Yes, as a kid, to see what would happen. Sorry I did it because it wasn't bothering anything. I would now if they were ruining my garden. +2
-
yeah when i was about 10 years old.. i didnt believe it, i thought it was an urban legend or something. anyways, i was truly fascinated by that at the time. now i just think its cruel.
-
Put some salt directly on your eye and that's what the poor slug would probably feel.
