first radishes from the garden

I'm jealous! I tried growing radishes in my garden last year, but the slugs just ate them all! now my vegetable patch is mainly growing weeds. Bad times!

We do the "beer can slug trap" -

If you have a few little ashtrays or bottom halves of a beer can, put them near your slug issue - put beer in the shallow of the cans, and they'll crawl in and die.

or, you can just dust for 'em. :)

I hope you go back to a happy garden soon!

I tried the beer can thing, but once I caught them I was too squeamish to do anything with them!
What is the dusting option?
Ideally we need a solution that involves the slugs being vapourised or similar so that I never have to deal with them
