How is sodium chloride is used to control slugs in a garden?

Sodium chloride, or table salt, can be used to control slugs in a garden by creating a barrier or applying it directly to the slugs. When salt comes into contact with slugs, it draws moisture from their bodies through osmosis, leading to dehydration and death. However, caution is needed, as excessive salt can harm the soil and surrounding plants. It's often recommended to use salt sparingly and consider alternative methods for pest control.
