Cheap beer, save the good stuff for human consumption.

If ya catch em, pour salt on them and watch. You could place a thin line of it around you plants as a barrier also.

Correct. Living in the PNW, we have them EVERYWHERE. Similar dislike to them as InTheSwamp has for ants. Rather than draw them in and drown them, we prefer to just keep them away. Cory's slug bait works well around here but it is just a mixture of salts. A thin line of salt around the perimeter usually does the trick. Even with our wet weather salt seems to outlast beer.
If you go the beer route, several cool whip containers with holes cut at the bottom about 1/4" to 1/2" up. Set them where you want them, then poor in beer and put lid on. Bowls work great if you are not worried about the rain, which we have plenty of.
I will say, I have never had an issue with slugs/snails using salt.
