The beer works, as does a bread yeast and sugar mixture, but after two weeks
of running an open bar for slugs I got sick of it. We collected about 80
each night and the next day there were 80 more.

I got a good deal on the pet safe killer and have been using it this week.
So far, so good, but since the caterpillars have moved in to finish off what
the slugs left, it's hard to know if it's working. sigh

Place a couple of bowls filled with stale beer left over from your
last barbecue party near the affected plants. The slugs love beer and
will crawl in and drown in the beer... it works.

empty tuna fish cans work great ...sink it into the ground to almost
level ...to get fancy, take a larger can top (ie large coffee can ),
put a crease in it to act like a tent above the beer to keep out rain
