In some years, usually during a cool and wet Spring, we get lots of Slugs. I think it was in 2010 when we had a regular Slug plague until the onset of warm Summer weather. I placed lots of slices of potatoes and apples around my plants and checked in the morning underneath for a Slugs. I never had much luck setting up Beer traps.
I would walk out in early morning with a Salt shaker or a bowl of Saltwater. I simply picked the Slugs off and dumped salt on them or threw them into the saltwater, which dissolves them.
