Yes, putting salt around plants can keep slugs away even though there is possible collateral damage or death to the vegetation in question. Salt dehydrates animals and plants so that plants in particular do not access necessary soluble nutrients. Repulsion of slugs may be achieved through sprinkling coffee grounds, a control that will not harm the plant, its neighbors or the soil in which they all grow.

Dusky, red and Spanish slugs are orange slugs that eat plants. Taxonomists categorize the three molluscs respectively into the gastropod genus Arion subfuscus, A. rufus and A. vulgaris. Slugs may be considered as beneficial in consuming carrion, decaying and living fungi and plants, other slugs, and snails and as pests in eating edible, ornamental and wildflowering plants.
