Kill Slugs with Beer 🍺

One of the simplest ways to get rid of slugs is to pour them a beer. Literally.  Make sure to not waste a yummy and delicious beer on these nasty garden pests though. An inexpensive, cheap beer will do the job just as well as your favorite will.
 
Bury a small bowl in your garden, near plants that seem to be attracting the slugs. You'll want the lip of the bowl to be level with the soil.   Now crack open a beer, and fill the bowl.
