Slugs go in the brown bin, yes they climb up and i find them on the lid, but they just get ejected back to the bottom until they depart.
Snails on the other hand get drop kicked as far as possible into the field behind my house, not sure if they make it back or not, but i do enjoy volleying them as far as possible.
Golly! Is there a nice way of getting rid of them? I admit to feeling sorry for the poor things, but I still cut them in half and stamp on the snails. I suppose the kindest way is a beer trap. I did get some beer to do this but OH drank it!
I've done the nail varnish thing and thrown them into the neighbours garden. When they come back I repeat with a different colour. Three is the most returns. I've seen last years ones this year, or it might have been from the year before. I often wonder what the neighbours think if they see them....we don't talk much. Actually I got really quite fond of those snails after all that.
My friend found a cat in her garden, and slung it over the fence into the canal! I asked if it had swum ashore - she didn't know - she didnt look!!! I couldn't even do that to a slug.
The worst thing I ever did to a cat was throw a pan of water over a repeat offender.
Slugs, I just flick out of sight, and use slug pellets.

fidget- think he's taking the ****
I'm like you - can't do mussels etc- mainly because they don't agree with me. Love lobster, crab, crayfish, langoustines etc htough- I'm a cheap date
Much as I hate the damage they do- I draw a line at the salt, or chopping them in half...
Just couldn't do it Chuck them as far as I can and that's often into the road- so at least they have a fighting chance!
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
I go out with a pair of scissors & leave them on lawn for birds... slugs give me the shivers though when slicing.. yuck..

Idid try putting them on the lawn for the blackbirds but the blackbirds turned their beaks up and went back to the bird muesli
I've held slug swimming races before now, in the stream. Slugs aren't very good at swimming.
