Listen, heck with all this slug bait, beer traps, and all that other crap that needs reapplication after a rain. Wrap any form of copper metal around the base of your plants, problem solved. It gives them a mild electrical charge and they will avoid it at all costs. You could use speaker wire or anything of the sort as long as you provide about an inch width around the base.. Myself, I purchased copper foil tape off Ebay and have NEVER lost a plant to slugs. They are simply non-existant in my world.

I used copper wire before. The odd one will get buy.
Copper pipe is the best. Like 1/2 inch or even better 3/4 inch.
