I put out slug bait last year, but

Use Neem Oil, Neem Oil is organic and safe for people, pets and Bees!
It will kill most common garden pests!
Treat once a week until you see the issue resolved..or according to the package directions.
Apply to the entire plant and make sure you get the underside of the leaves.
