Make a beer trap.
Marg tub three quarters filled with beer buried in the soil. Works a treat or just go out at night with a torch and get the bastards.

beer traps slowed them down, and I definitely killed a few when I went out with a headtorch
but they still finished off my first crop of peas and beans, the little buggers
eventually I caved and bought organic enviro-friendly slug pellets from the garden shop, which stopped them dead
