I stayed in a victorian terraced place that was like that nightmare!

You can do some diy beer traps (try google) for a start.

Secondly slugs hide near sources of food so you can provide a convenient hiding place for them - get a plank of wood and raise it slightly over the ground for them to crawl under.

Flip it over in the morning and leave them for the birds or scrape into the bin.

You will have slugs coming from neighbouring gardens too. You can get a slug fence for about 30 euro on ebay if you run this along the top of the adjoining walls if will keep the slugs out o your yard. If you have a stone wall you could consider rendering it to remove hiding places and food sources. Power wash algae from concrete and slabs to remove food source.
