You can kill slugs and snails with a good pinch of salt but it's not a very quick death for them. The best way of killing them with out chemical aids is to go out at night with a torch and a big knife and chop up any that you find.

Give salt to your kids. Its excellent. keeps kids out the way for a bit as well.
