      Moth balls and salt. Salt will kill plants but if poured directly on the slug, it will kill them. The moth balls laid out around the plants will work the best

        BEER!!!   Take a 2 liter soda bottle and cut it off at the shoulder;  invert the top piece and tape it to the bottom so it looks like a funnel; add half a can of beer and set it in the slug path.  They can get in but not out.  Just remember to empty and replace the beer regularly.

        The slugs are attracted to the yeast and hops.  Make sure the rim is at ground level.  And deep enough where they cant crawl out.  Warm beer works the best for my slugs.
