Beer traps!

Can be as simple as a saucer or the cap off your standpipe surround, filled with beer and left overnight.
Another method is to flood the growbed for a while, the slugs will climb the plants or crawl up out of the growbed, you can then easily pick them off or brush them off.

The picked slugs I'd give to the chooks, the live ones to the fish.
