Hi, obviously we all have problems with snails and slugs in the garden, in tubs and pots etc. Now I use slug pellets to deter them.
But my issue is, what do you do with the Slugs when you actually have them. I usually throw them over the wall onto the little side road, but I guess they come back eventually.

Is there a suitably humane way to dispose of them safely?
 
You should wait for a damp rainy night - go out with a bucket of salt water and pick them up and dunk them - they make a very satisfying sizzling noise once in the water - My wife used to throw them in the field but the little blighters just crawled back in. If you have those in the big shells - save them and sell them to Kebab shops or keep them in a box of Oats for a week so they clean all green stuff out of them and then cook them in garlic - If the French can do it so can you. :)
