Default I hate slugs!

I finally caught the culprits in the act of eating my veggies and
habaneros! DIEEEEEEEEEEEE slime!

Besides picking them off the plants at night while juggling a flashlight,
I've read of various methods, organic and non-organic, to get rid of the
slimey pests. I don't want any birds to accidently ingest something and
die, so what can I use that won't kill the birds, but will do all manner
of evil to the slugs?


A saucer of beer. Or a bowl of diluted Vegemite or Marmite or Promite (but
that advice only applies if you live in a place where yeast spreads are
understood and appreciated).
