Do you know about Sluggo? It's now considered to be organic and kills them post-haste after you sprinkle it in the garden!

Agree all you need is one of the many brands of slug baits. They even sell them here at all the big box stores. Just be aware that they are poisonous to pets so keep them out of the garden.

Otherwise you can always go out at nite with a flashlight and a salt shaker. Works well.

From all I've read about Sluggo, essentially iron phosphate, it's not toxic to pets unless ingested in very large amounts. I use it regularly, with great success and without harm to my animals. FWIW Gary

Sluggo is more expensive than the poisons, but the best option. If you have pets it is worth it. Beer works well but what a waste. Slugs will come to wet cat food but that is messy and then you have to squish them. You can fall squishing them.

Helen,

IMO trapping and drowning slugs is probably the best use for beer! LOL! Unless you count cooking with it. ;)

P.S. There is a reason they have barrels on the wagons behind the great big horses.
