I've got those little bastards and there cousins. Organocide works pretty good as a repellent but needs to be applied every other day. I used diamaceous earth (maybe not enough) and still found slugs and catipillars. so I declared war and have been manually scanning and picking these Dudes off. I'm also looking for a better solution.

For slugs try taking a beer can that has been cut in half and then dig a little hole for the can to sit in level with the ground and fill it about half way up with beer. The beer attracts the slugs in and they fall in the beer and drown it works pretty damn good
