Continuation of slugs

I was looking for the thread on slugs but can't find it now, there is quite a few subjects on the forum so this is just a continuation of slug probs. I can't bring myself to kill them or snails no matter how much damage they did last year, although I do put that down to all the wet weather we had, hopefully this year the weather will be a lot better, fingers crossed. I have been the garden centre today and bought organic pellets to put around my bedding plants later on when it warms up. They are biogradable so I am hoping they will do the trick. Anyway I will give it a go.
If this doesn't do the trick then I may have to take drastic action.

There are a number of slug deterrents/killers that do different jobs
This sound like a killer if it is pellets
What are they called?

Seems to be barrier-still kills the slugs by sucking the life out of them-not nice for slug-ok for wild life
I think that sort of works but then you are attracting them to the area rather than repelling-it assumes that marigolds first- dahlias next if not full up
Marigolds are suppose to repel whitefly-that is why some plant near tomatoes
