I have slugs crawling out of my kitchen sink drain. There were five of

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?

A few drops of dish detergent as you finish using the sink would probably
make the trap unpassable to them.

take a photo of them and go to a site like 'tinypics' and they will provide
a link to the photos you can post here.









I sprinkled salt on one last night and he certainly didn't like it
very much and this AM there was practically nothing left of him so I'm
calling this a slug. We eat a lot of greens, mustard greens, collards,
eat and some of them do come out of our garden. This may be the
source. Our sink is used more for food prep than washing dishes with
rarely anything that may be toxic to them going down the drain so its
probably a slug heaven for them. I think this may be why my mom and
dad told me to always wash the greens in salt water.

Thanks all
