Catch them early before they do the damage.
There are lots of natural and organic slug contol methods you can put in place now.
I put organic pellets in jam jars so nothing other than slugs and snails will eat them. Place them in the vacinity of the vulnerable plant but not too close and replenish regularly.
Bio controls are available. These are nematodes ordered
here then delivered directly to you. The slug nematodes dilute in a
watering can and are watered onto infestations.
The bad news is what ever we do they will still be back next year.
