"Salt kills slugs" is a hypothesis, not a topic statement.
Salt kills bugs by dehydrating them. When salt comes into contact with a bug, it absorbs the moisture from their bodies, causing them to dry out and die. This process is effective in killing bugs because it disrupts their ability to regulate water and ultimately leads to their demise.
the salt kills bacteria that spoils the food
Salt kills bacteria and prevents their growth by causing dehydration. When salt is added to a bacterial cell, water is drawn out of the cell through osmosis, leading to the cell shrinking and eventually dying. This process disrupts the bacteria's ability to function and reproduce, effectively halting their growth.
I actually have tried this in a experiment to see if Salt can kill invasive fungi like Toadstools. While it does kill the fungi by changing the soil properties, it also kills other plants in the affected area. It's basically a double-edged sword if you want to use salt.
Table salt kills trees and shrubs. Look at the branches of the tree. However far they spread out, is where the roots are. You would put lots of salt on those areas and water it. Make sure the salt disolves. Or, dig a trench in those areas and put salt & water in it.

Iodized salt.
Putting salt on a slug completely dehydrates and kills the slug
Slugs and leeches do not have an outer skin that holds water inside of them. Thus, they require a moist environment to avoid drying out. If you put salt on them, the salt pulls the water out of their cells and kills them.
the answer is no to your question but its fun to put salt on them
The salt leaches the fluids out of the slug, due to osmosis. The slug then dies of dehydration.
salt and lots of it salt and lots of it
Salt will kill slugs because the slugs body is covered in mucus and the salt will dry up the mucus and in a matter of time the slug will die.
plants are not slugs
Put some salt on them
Other salt water slugs.... They are cannibals
Yes, but not with salt. Salt can kill the plant.
