Putting something coppery or scratchy in their path is one way to keep slugs from crossing into the garden. Slugs apparently receive the equivalent of electric shocks from contact with copper, and their insides and outsides will dry from contact with salt or tear from interactions with diatomaceous earth or sand.

Table salt !... Simply 'draw' a line along the edges of the path with table salt. It will stop the slugs (and snails) crawling over your pathway. You will have to replenish it every time it rains though.

Many people use a salt ring around the plant, or commercial snail/slug repellent.

Do slugs eat dog food?

I don't know all the plants that slugs eat, but in my garden they eat the petals on Marguerite daisies and shasta daisies. They eat the leaves on Fox Glove and the leaves on Hostas. Also I have seen them in my Icelandic Poppies and the Rudebeckia (Black Eyed Susan leaves)....I think they are also eating my Purple Coneflower leaves, they seem like they have holes in them. There favorite definitely is the daisy petals. I picked off about 12 slugs off of one daisy plant. Also saw them on my coreopsis. Slimy little suckers!!

The Bible said two angel's were at the gate to keep them from returning. and they could see the garden from not far off, i think that they are buried near the garden. The Bible never mentions them moving.
