SNAIL SOUP - Repels snails and slugs
To repulse snails and slugs, collect as many as you can, then place in a container and cover with water. Put a lid on the container and put aside for 3 or 4 days, allowing the snails and slugs to ferment. Strain, then spray where you don’t want slugs and snails to invade.

an old remedy to deter snails and slugs is to collect as many as possible, morning and evening. Tip them into a bucket of boiling water and let it stand for a few days until the smell becomes fearsome, then strain off the liquid and use it to sprinkle round vulnerable plants, such as the young growth of delphiniums, lettuce and so on – but not on them. The remains of the slugs and snails can also be scattered.

I bought Nemaslug this year after a pretty disastrous time last year, and so far it seems to be working. There is still some damage but considering how wet it has been so far, I've been pleased with the results. Suppose the recipes for making slug soup work on the same principle of biological control.
