for rolly pollies and slugs, i had good results with beer.
i burried a small, clear, plastic deli container so that it was level with 
the ground and put some cheap beer in it. it was full every morning. i 
didn't even know i had slugs.
you have to dump and rinse the container frequently as it can get pretty 
smelly.
