slugs and snails do not like rough surfaces, putting mulch or a light dust of sand around the base of your plants should help. Also coffee grounds work wonders as well.
Egg shells. That's the trick. Broken egg shells will take care of those slugs.
Take some bowls or plates. Sink them into the ground level with the surface. Pour in some beer in the bowls/plates. The yeast attracts the slugs. They drink their fill and drown.
Apply diatomaceous earth in your garden.
The beer always works. If you have time, shake some salt on them. They'll puff up and die on the spot.
Spread Epsom Salts - The coarseness of Epsom salts cut the slugs as they crawl across it and they'll die. Works for me
Bonus, plants like Epsom Salts
