Slugs are good. Their part of the ecosystem and are food for many different animals.  For example, a toad would eat them.

Answer 5

Frogs, toads, snakes, hedgehogs, Salamanders, eastern box turtles, humans and also some birds and beetles are natural slug predators. Slugs, when attacked, can contract their body, making themselves harder and more compact and thus more difficult for many animals to grasp. The unpleasant taste of the mucus is also a deterrent.

most of them wont actually do any harm, they eat dead plants, leaves, fungus or even other dead bugs. only some will eat live plants or bugs. so most likely you havent got anything to worry about
