The beer suggestion is good.  You can see instant results by going out on a
damp night with a flashlight and saltshaker.  Simply salt the slugs well
and watch them "slime" themselves as they go through their death throes.

There are more solutions in the garden stores if you ar chemically inclined
:-(
