Yes! Yes!! Oh, please, don't eat live plants like slugs and snails do!

I was thinking that they would compete with slugs for the organic matter on the soil surface and in the soil, and the slugs would die out.

But you're probably right: the slugs would shift to an all-fresh-foliage diet.

Just because it ISN'T complicated doesn't mean I can't MAKE it complicated!
