Default I hate slugs!

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?



Someonw here claims that epson salts keeps the slugs away and also acts
as a fertilizer but use sparingly.
