There are a number of natural solutions.

Here is one:

Crack Open a Cold One
Slugs like beer as much as they like the leafy greens of your garden plants. Crack open a beer and pour it into a few margarine tubs, then distribute the containers in various places around the yard, burying them so that about an inch remains above ground. The slugs will be attracted to the scent, crawl into the tubs, and drown overnight. Dispose of the containers the next morning in your trash or compost bin.  (HT Bob Vila)

Do nothing. They will be gone by morning

Salt?

Any experience on how much to spread and if it works?

Get rid of overgrown vegetation and clean out dark damp spots - make sure no pooling water or such. And see if your neighbors yard is like that too.

You bet! Looking for some real good barrier so they stop coming over to me.

Salt?

To get rid of them or put on them when eating them?

Slugs are OK, but I'm more of a buckshot type of guy.

Once again, you can go natural:

Build a Sharp Barrier

A slug’s Achilles ankle is its soft body, easily irritated by sharp or dry materials. Use this to your advantage by sprinkling wood ashes, diatomaceous earth, gravel, or lava rock in a wide band around individual plants—or the entire garden—to discourage slugs, as they won’t want to crawl across the bumpy barrier. Wood ashes have the bonus benefit of adding potassium to your soil and raising the pH, so consider choosing that method as your first line of defense.  (HT Bob Vila)

I find these all over on my concrete porch and walls…no I don’t believe a narrow rock border will deter these…need someone with real life experience and results!

Thank you!
How often did you have to use? As per the instructions it’s every two weeks…isn’t there something better that lasts longer than that?
