Found a great product to get rid of those nasty slim sucking slugs. Its called Corrys slug and snail death, greatest thing since sliced bread lol. since I used it they have stoped chewing on my garden, they are more attracted to it than the veggies. But they dont even get a chance to leave before it kills them, dead slugs all through the bait but not one in the garden dead or alive.

take a cup and bury it to the rim then fill it full of beer . the slugs r attracted to the beer and drown. if cats and dogs drink the beer they will get over it if they eat a slug with insecticide you will be digging a bigger hole!!!

i was doing the beer thing and even though it does work there are still slugs in the garden. I remember last time I went out in the morning to self pollinate a pumpkin there was slugs in the pumpkin flowers and I had beer cups burried all through the garden. they also ate over half of my beans that had just popped up. This stuff seems to get them all. I did put 2x8 boards over the poison and put it out of reach from my pup. And if an animal gets into my garden it wont be the snail bait that does it in lol.

Lol escargot shreddies, part of an every day healthy breakfast.

Only thing about Diatomaceous Earth is it only works well in dry weather, and snails are more abundant when the garden is damp.
