When raking my yard, I noticed a lot of cut worms and some slugs under the leaves. They are all destined to the compost pile and was wondering if they will survive and even multiply in the pile.

This pile will not be turned and have a minimum of greens (mostly kitchen scraps and UCG) added. So it will basically be a cold pile and probably sit for 1 1/2 years.

I already have a big problem with slugs and somewhat of a problem with cut worms. I don't want to make things worse.

Let me add that my yard is not a typical "lawn". It is mostly weeds, moss, lots of woody debris and soft bare spots. We actually had snow on top of the leaves for a while and I was surprised the pests were still there.
