Passer-by : Oh, that's a very interesting device I see on your lawn. What is it?

Householder : It's an elephant deterrent.

Passer-by : But we don't have elephants around here!

Householder : Yeah, works well, don't it?!

@macgro, slugs are nocturnal and owls eat rodents not slugs and i dont know of any other bird that is both slug eating and nocturnal. Anyway slug pellets work brilliantly. And before anybody says anything, we dont have hedgehogs round here - the massive population of badgers we've got have seen to that. I dont speak any bird language so I cant put up a sign saying ' please birds, just eat the insects, not my veg'. Sounds as if the way to go is electronic so I' will give it ago and report back.

Ducks do fantastic job with the slugs

I know you'll laugh, feel free.
A small highly visible bed away from the house and buildings well stocked for the birdlife , its also offers some occasional fresh meat, sitting in one of the poly-tunnels with the door open in direct line of sight, cant miss !
