Diatomaceous earth.
Take the time to spread around any place you want protected.
The stuff used in swimming pool filters.
For slugs and snails it is like sliding over ground glass as it cuts them open and they lose the ability to stay slimy and quickly dry out.
Animals leave it alone and it is easy to handle and spread.
One also mentioned beer. I put it in lids and put them at ground level surrounded with the Diatomaceous earth.
Around here we use raised beds using treated 2 x 4s and a semi permeable underlayment with both the outer and inner perimeters covered with the Diatomaceous earth.
Don't be an sesquipedalian, Eschew Obfuscation.....
Sometimes, when I see the neighborhood children make small discoveries of their own, I wish I were a child.
With apologies to Dr. Seuss
