And then sometimes it hails or rains with frogs. It's been going on since the Dawn of Slug. Are the slugs bothering you? Or the frogs? Because there are Ways to deal with them. Salt and dry heat are involved. And sticks that can poke things. And acid if you want to go more high-tech.
Salt and dry heat? This isn't one of those get-rich-quick schemes to sell slug crisps, is it?
Incidentally, when X-chan and I were kids in Maryland, there was an apple tree on our property that produced scads of apples, way more than we could possibly have eaten even if we'd devoted our lives to apple consumption. When Mom was getting ready to mow the lawn, we'd go out and pick up the apples that had fallen on the ground and rotted there. By that point they were usually COVERED with slugs, which we would then fling at each other.
An entire corner of our compost heap smelled like cider.
I think the simple, but beautiful, way of our ancestors, involving pokey sticks, is best. :D
