I have huge slugs, about 3-4 inch long. They are brown with strips. These monsters crawl across any leftover dog and cat food which I have to depose of. Climb the side of the house & leave dropping or eggs I don't know which. Salt will kill them, I don't care for this method but it is an ongoing problem. My dogs and cat scratch but don't have fleas. I fear the slugs are crawling on them too. Looking for a method to deter them in a kinder way as I'm sure they are in some way a benefit to the earth.
