Default Slugs

Does anyone have any good ways to deter slugs? Preferably without using
slug pellets.... My strawberries are looking really good and healthy but
I have noticed quite a few leaves are being eaten and there are slug
trails on them



Crush up some eggshells and sprinkle them around the plants.

Also try gently pulling apart steel wool pads and placing them on the ground
around the plants.
