However would prefer not to use pellets as I would not wish anything
similar
to happen to me.

Hand pick the slugs, drop them into a plastic bag, and then put them in the
freezer. The next day, pull the bag out and discard. They have a peaceful,
frozen death.

Best time for hand-picking -- a rainy morning after the sun's come up. We'll
have plenty of those in the coming months.
