if you ever want to attract them? put a VERY shallow dish of beer out in the yard at night...check on it in about an hour? you should have all KINDS of slugs and snails visiting.........but make sure it's SHALLOW! they'll get drunk and actually drown if you make it too deep.

Just remember to check on it...like I said? they REALLLLLY like beer...and will drunkenly commit suicide if left un-attended. CHILDREN! But it is amazing..how swiftly they're attracted to it...
