I would treat the area with Nematodes specific to slugs. Not sure if it's too late this year or not ( I'm sure someone here will know) but certainly next spring. 

Ive found them to be very effective. 

Also spend time now clearing up the garden removing places where slugs and snails can lurk over the winter. 

Good luck.

Yes, probably too late now but two applications of nematodes 6 weeks apart in the spring will drastically reduce the numbers for next year.
