I appear to have a nocturnal visitor, I think either a snail or slug
which is exploring the kitchen at night (I'm finding a trail on the
floor each morning).

Apart from borrowing a hedgehog, what is the best way of disposing of
it.

Slug pellets. Unless you actually see it, in which case...salt shaker.

I've already try putting down salt (on sheets of paper), but it hasn't
taken the bait. *Looks like slug pellets.

They won't *take* salt, just avoid it, so it can make a barrier.

We have this problem permanently as the slugs come into the house by
courtesy of our long haired cat.

If you do succeed in finding a solution please let us know as I've
tried all the suggested cures without any success whatsoever. In due
course circumstances occur that the slug and one of the family are at
the same place at the same time and the offender gets ejected - it's
just as well the slugs aren't any larger or that could be the family
member !!
