Does anyone know a good way to get rid of slugs without killing them?

I've got a lot of them around the outside of my house, and sometimes they even come inside my basement....yuck! But I truly don't like to kill things. I don't want them dead, I just don't want them in my house ! Any suggestions for deterring them?

Answers:
I have heard that slugs will not cross bare copper wire .

put a lot of salt in the places they use to appear, even if they're stupid enough to get to the salt and die it would be easy to dispose them.

Good old table salt will dissolve them and killing them is the only way to get rid of them
my grandmother sprinkled salt around her basement door and the never came inside
Ehh unless you want to pick them up or something then you can't do it. Wait, maybe you could try buying some slug repellent to put around the areas you don't want slugs.
sprinkle rock salt around the perimeter. they hate it. it may irritate them at first, but it won't kill them unless they roll around in it
I would suggest that you move to Tibet where they lover tree hugers. Geez
Slugs need smooth and moist surfaces to travel. If you surround your home with a perimeter of decorative rock (but not smooth stones), it will look nice and keep the slugs out of your house. As for the yard, no way to get rid of them from your lawn without killing them. I have 4 ducks that LOVE eating them, so that's one idea of a good & natural way for the slugs to die!
Use an old bowl or small wide mouth container. Bury it with the opening level with the ground. Add beer. It will attract snales and drown them. This is no joke. All salt is going to do is kill plants. I've used this method for years.
