This article is written in two parts. The first part is what I call my Slug Manifesto. If you’re short on time and just need to know what works without needing to know the details of why most of what you read on the internet is false, scroll down to the bottom of the post until you get to the “what works” section.

I live in the Pacific Northwest, on heavily shaded and moist acreage which is prime slug habitat. The slugs out here grow to enormous sizes-five inches or so. I’ve dealt with slugs before when I lived nearby in the city, on a 5,000 square foot postage stamp lot and so I knew that dealing with the problems that they cause could be exceedingly frustrating. But nothing prepared me for the reality of what what was in store for me in attempting to grow food out here in the country. Not only were my plants damaged, but many times the entire planting would be completely wiped out overnight. Everything I tried to do to get rid of them failed.
