50 ways to kill a slug

I discovered the other day that my brother has a book called '50 ways to kill a slug' (don't ask me why a 7 year old would want a book like that, I have a strange family!) so I decided to read it incase I should ever have any slug problems! It's actually a pretty funny book, there are some genius ways of killing those slimy horrible creatures, and some that are just really sick!
Here's a few of my favourites!

Hang them out to dry
A slightly time-consuming but amusing way to dry out slugs.

1. Collect a bucketful of slugs.
2.Wearing rubber gloves, peg each one to your washingline.
3.Watch as they wriggle and sway gently in the breeze and dry out and die in the sun.

Impress them with your treads
This one is only for those with strong stomachs-it may not be the kindest way to send slugs off, but it's very satisfying.

1. Tell your children that you want to give them a biology lesson and get them out into the garden in search of slugs.
2.When they have successfully collected enough of the little beasts, give them a quick talk-dipping into your wealth of knowledge about slugs-then send them to bed.
3.Once they are safely tuckd up, wreak revenge by spreading all those slugs on your driveway and driving back and forth over them in your car.

Get them dead drunk
For those of you whose karma may be rocked by slug-slaying, this is the mthod for you...what nicer way for a slug to go?

1.Fill a shallow bowl with beer (Michelob and Budweiser are thought to have a high success rate) and place it strategically in an area of high slug activity.
2.Wait overnight.
3.Slugs love a slurp of stale beer. Once in it they'll drown.
4.Disposing of the slugged brew can be a messy business. A simple solution is to add it to your compst heap.

So there you go, such a nice book!!
