I suggest most seriously that you try nematodes. They work here and
while we do have slugs, we have nothing like the quantity one might
expect in green, wet Devon. And - touch wood as I say this - neither
do we have vine weevil. But you MUST use this method exactly as
instructed and certainly repeat frequently, as instructed.
And do all you can to encourage wildlife into your garden, birds,
hedgehogs, frogs, toads etc.

Have you found nematodes also work on snails? There are conflicting stories
