If you want something organic, my Mom uses 50% vinegar and 50% water with a few drops of dishwashing liquid and says it works a treat. <br /><br />As for slugs, you can also sprinkle oats around where they are. They will eat them and it will dehydrate them and kill them. This also works with ants.<br /><br />Good luck. I hate both ants and slugs. But at least it's not cockroaches.
