Are you talking about using an ammonia spray to kill slugs?  It is very
effective (50% ammonia, 50% water).  Some spray on the leaves won't hurt
anything (it's nitrogen), some advise not to apply it to the point of
runoff.  Some plants' leaves will lighten in color in response to a heavy
spray, but that's a temporary solution.  It's as deadly as salt on the
slugs without being as harmful to plants.  Margaret
