I have zillions of them!! Ok, maybe not THAT many, but it sure seems like it! I dont want anything toxic that will hurt my animals, and I cant use salt or other things like salt that will kill my plants! I feel stuck! HELP!!!

Use a jar lid. Place it upside down on the soil. Pour beer in it. The slugs will run to it and drown.

@Carrie, Thank you! I had Googled how to get rid of them, but I didnt care for most of what was provided. I LOVE these ideas.--(xcept for the bird one--the slugs only come out at night--I assume due to the heat here in AZ, so there are no birds to eat them!) I appreciate these ideas! 👍😉
Take your egg shells and smash them into small pieces and then sprinkle around your problem areas. You can also use the beer method by placing a tin in the garden, sink it into the ground so the slugs can get into it and they will come and will not be able to leave,
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
