If nothing else works and you are like me and do not use poisons in your
garden, try to find some predatory snails.  I bought  50 of these little
guys that have conical shells (very different from the bad snails)  They
will tackle a slug or snail many times their size (they were only about
3/4 inch long the first year)  There are a few pretty large ones now and
they are very busy at night.  They like to live in compost or mulch
around the base of plants  and they do not eat plants, they are strictly
carnivorous.  They also will eat the odd earthworm they might stray
across that is on the surface but mostly they go after slugs and the big
round snails.
