  Hostas like shade and moistness - a slug's idea of paradise. The
  quickest cure is handpicking them, but there are squeamish folks out
  there. (You're not squeamish, are you, Terry?)
   The next best is employing a couple of ducks, but in a suburban
   setting, with a zillion duck-eaters (dogs) in the neighbourhood, and
   the necessity for good fences, most people can't do that one. (Not
   to mention that if you get any other ducks except Muscovys, you'll
   break anti-noise regulations. :-))
   So that leaves mainly sand, diatomecious earth, crushed eggshells,
   and other gritty stuff to spread around the hostas. This is the
   equivalent of a slug mine field, and it takes a brave slug to risk
   it. But in REAL slug areas, ducks are by far your best bet. :-)
