The best and cheapest way to help rid yourself of slugs is Beer. Slugs
LOVE a good beer part, and will drown themselves with little or no work
on your part.
pour a little beer inside a small cup or relativly deep lid and partially
bury it in the soil. In the morning, dispose of the dead slugs.
Completely safe, non-toxic and biodegradable.
