I was using a small baked bean tin to hold paint stripper while doing my garden bench when a friend and her crazy dog called and I put what I thought was an empty tin in a large flower pot.
When I went out today there were 7 slugs in the tin not looking at all well and the overnight rain had swelled what paint stiripper was left in the tin.
Now I don't know how to safely dispose of this deadly mess. Any ideas?

I can rise and shine - just not at the same time!

    Give them to Peter the Piper's ants. Ants are great waste disposal experts, though their detractors often forget to remember that!

    Well that might be the soloution to my ant proble too.
    Only I'd worry for the birds and hedgehogs.........so maybe his.
    At least I've found an effective slug control.
