Just pour table salt on them. No need for anything fancy.

When I lived in Rocky Point, we never had slugs.

i always have tons of slugs...

few years back i stepped on one barefoot and went from zero to raging mad in .3 seconds...went inside, grabbed the salt (the pound cannister or what ever size it is they sell) and a flashlight and wound up killing 100+ slugs... i was hunting high and low for them throughout my yard, overturning every rock, planter and any other hiding spot...

Beer in a pan will attract them and kill them.

I've been seeing ALOT of snails, no slugs so far.

What harm do they do? Is it necessary to kill them?

When they're hungry, they'll eat your plants...

Ha!

Actually...last year there were thousands of the nasty things because there was so much rain. This year there are noticeably fewer.

This stuff also kills them...shreds them when they try to slither over it.
