I have slugs crawling out of my kitchen sink drain. There were five of
them in the bottom of the sink this AM. What is the best way to get
rid of them? One of my ffriends told me to put a spoon full of salt
down the drain everytime I use the sink. House is on the sewer, PVC
pipe to the street, no trees in the path and otherwise no drainage
problems. Are they just coming up out of the sewer or should I expect
some type of damage to my plumbing?

Stale beer in a small lid (they drown) or pour salt on them (they dry
up). Slugs love moisture. I've not seen them in sink drains, but
normally in areas of lawn sprinklers.

Salt down the drain sounds reasonable -- but how did they get there?
