What’s best way to keep slugs out of my flower beds?

Lowe's has a bag of stuff I use a lot called Slug-Getta or something like that. Works great. Slugs go where it's wet so maybe don't water so much?

Sit and enjoy a beer with them. Only put theirs in a dish whose lip you've made level with the ground so they can slither into. They'll die. But they'll be happy...

Copper. Slug granuals. Get some more sun in the area by cutting back shading of trees and bushes. Get some frogs,..support birds.

Save your egg shell and coffee grounds...crush up the egg shells mix with coffee grounds around your plants. The eggshells cut the belly of the slugs and coffee grounds are a natural repellant. The eggshells and coffee grounds will decompose adding nutrients to your soil.

salt on the edges of the garden

Snail bait that is not harmful to pets' or go out in the evening and pick by hand, kill. Do it before they start their new families.

Try to till and let the soil dry out. Trim plants that lay near the ground to let the sunshine in
