You can buy copper strips that you can put around the borders of your garden. The copper is toxic to snails and slugs. I'm not sure if they sell it in most nurseries but it is usually readily available through most garden supply catalogs. There are also chemicals you can spray to get rid of them but other than that keep using the beer.
How do I get rid of slugs in my flower beds? There are WAY too many to use the beer trick. Thanks!?
We use store-bought slug killer. It's got a special formula to kill slugs, snails and other bugs. It kinda looks like wood shavings when you pour it out... Ask someone at Home Depot or Lowe's or something. :)

Really, once you wipe out the first wave they mostly stay away (because they're mostly drowned!)
Reply:An inexpensive and pet safe way we have found is to sprinkle rock salt around your plants, being careful not to get the salt directly on the leaves or petals as it can burn them. And of course you have to repeat after rain
