...in the common household?? Every year i have a slug problem in my garden but i don't like using pesticides. I was told to place a pie pan full of beer in the garden at ground level and it would kill them, but all i got was drunk slugs. Any hints will be tried.

Kill em with kindness.

actually what you did works. but make sure your not usings a lite beer.

Beer is all i know. Maybe sugar?
