Another option would be to visit your local garden center and get a bag or
container of diatamatious (I am 100% sure that is spelled wrong - but close)
earth. It is a natural substance that you sprinkle around your plants - it
kills the slugs and is actually good for the garden. Now -m you slug lovers
might want to stop reading now because I'm going to explain how it does in
the little munchetrs. The "earth" has naturally very sharp edges to
igranular structure. The edges don't harm humans or larger animals (pets)
but literally cuts the belly out of the slugs when they crawl over it.

Last week I set out a beer trap for the slugs which have been munching
down my sorrel. I was not able to trap any slugs into the beer traps,
however I caught numerous crickets each night in my beer filled yogurt
container. Frustrated, I turned to more inhumane means of ridding
myself of slugs. At the sight of two particularly large slugs on the
side of our house, I ran for the salt (not sure why I felt the need to
run, I don't think the slugs were going to run off on me). It was
cruel, but I took pleasure in tossing the salt onto the invasive and
destructive creatures. Two nights later, all my parsley has been eaten
down to the stems. My money is on the slug community. I think they are
exacting revenge.
