Use diatomaceous earth, which is available at pool supplies and sometimes
garden centers in smaller quantities. It doesn't dissolve when it rains and
the slugs don't like it. You can spread it around where they are found and
they will stay away.

Or, get slug traps.

Can i sprinkle salt around the pond to kill these creeps? You use salt
in your ponds so i don't see the problem.
