If you would like to get prevent slugs try this:

Copper Barriers:
Strips of copper sheet metal make a excellent and
permanent barrier against slugs and snails. Put them
around the trunks of trees and shrubs, wrap around
legs or edges of greenhouse benches, or use them to
edge garden beds or particularly vulnerable sections
of plants. Make sure you've barred their path
completely and there are no gaps in your copper
barrier. Remove or cut back any overhanging branches
or plants that may give the slimy little guys an on
ramp. Make sure you eliminate the slugs inside the
barrier with slug traps or by leaving ground barren
long before putting up your copper barrier.
