That would be ducks.
Ducks eat slugs, bugs, frogs, etc. When we had ducks, we didn't have tadpoles in our pond anymore.

I don't know of any breed of geese off-hand that eat bugs and slugs.
I have always known that geese are vegetarians.
 I know mine are vegetarians, they scream when the chickens and guineas eat bugs.

I don't know if there is a breed of geese that will eat bugs and slugs.
But I would certainly research it before you go out and buy some ;)
