Pick them up and remove them. At my parents I send my kids out with a tub and see who can collect the most

Here, I have loads of hedgehogs and they keep the numbers down well.

I wouldn't use slug pellets, cuz it harms other animals, as well... Like hedgiehogs.

[repkid]

I'd use salt India.

i have a slug eating plant, don't laugh it's true. that's almost stopped the wee beasties getting to my petunias. or a beer trap works wonders. get a tub or 2, fill with beer & bury so the top of the tub is flush with the ground. slugs love beer & will drown in it.

your mum might not want to be the one that empties it though.
