Hi Natalie, We had a really bad problem with slaters which can easily be overcome by decreasing the amount of mulch (thats where they live) and or using a product called Multiguard by Multicrop. It is excellent in controlling slaters and snails and doesn't impact on the beneficial animal in the garden and breaks down into an iron chelate. Good luck.
