I recently saw someone (can't remember where) who had slug damage on plants. They didn't know what it was but spray an insecticide on the plants that I don't think kills slugs, but kills things like centipedes, which eat slugs. Just saying, a little restraint may yield better results.

Sorry for the rant.
Centipedes eat slugs?! So that's one more I thought was a "bad guy" that is really a beneficial of sorts??? I've been cutting them in half along with the slugs.
