Go out on a drizzly night with a torch, pick them off, drop them on the ground and stomp on them. Needs to be repeated often to control them.
Slugs can be controlled with nematodes - you water in a concoction with them in, but it is less effective on snails and fairly expensive.
You can get "organic" slug pellets that contain ferric phosphate.
