Keeping slugs and snails out of the cats food?

Is this the cat food that is out or stored cat food?
We don't have issues with snails but do periodically have issues with slugs. I've had the best luck with placing the bowl the kitties eat from inside a slightly larger bowl (I use a pie pan because the fit's perfect for our bowls) and fill that larger bowl with a thin layer of salt, then place the food bowl on top of the salt. Easy, cheap, and effective without pesticides, etc near their food.
We also - as it warms up - have had issues with ants too. When those start being an issue, we put water in the larger bowl. I've never combined the two (to make salt water) - but if you have trouble with both it'd be worth a try!

I'll give it a try. Thanks!
Hi! That salt trick is a very good one. The slugs and snails can not tolerate it.
