There is a very expensive fix of making copper ringa

I saw the copper solution, but I have raised beds - so they're already in! I don't think I could surround individual plants at this point.

When I live in a slug area they were intense. I had mega slugs that were often quarter sized. I ended up lining the tops of my raised beds with aluminum strips. The first year it obviously didn't stop them alone but I sprinkled salt on the aluminum which in turn stopped some slugs and also helped the metal to get rusty. After that first year...... No more slugs breached the barrier

Sluggo pellets or any of the iron phosphate slug killers takes care of the problem.

I used bug gets ortho granules outside of the raised beds, I'm not sure it was organic but it wasn't ever in the beds

Yea, I tried the beer trick. It didnt work for some reason. Sober slugs...

I guess I could try sluggo. Will it work in the rain? Also, they all seem to be baby slugs. No really big ones

You said they were babies so maybe they aren't old enough to drink :)

'I had mega slugs that were often quarter sized.' Lol - my slugs would have your slugs for a snack. Not to mention the snails.

Sluggo works really well. It will completely dissolve in a heavy rain but usually not in a light rain. You don't need to apply all that much and the existing slugs will eat it and then they stop eating your plants and die.

I had a couple lettuce plants and part of another get mowed down by slugs in one night. I applied a few pellets of sluggo immediately around each remaining plant and never had anymore damage. I did re-apply it every week or so since.

do you eat the snails, Flora?

No. They are not quite as large as edible snails. I have cooked and eaten those in the past but I didn't get the purging right and they tasted of earth and garlic.

I second Sluggo. I have (not large but a lot in quantity) snails and slugs ALL through my yards, not just hanging around the veggies. I sprinkle some in the beds as well as around them in the grass. So far I've not lost anything to them.

Is sluggo truly organic? I read a couple places that it may harm earthworms and maybe pets??

anedoctally, no. it does not harm the worms.

Does neem oil work on slugs?

I didn't know so I looked it up. Neem and slugs
