Supposedly, the other slugs come to feed on their family members, and you can get the rest of them. The little grey slugs are the most damaging to lettuce. The bigger brown ones are more attracted to brassicas.

I have soaker hoses in my raised beds. The large brown slugs seem to think that I installed them for their comfort. So, late at night, or early in the morning, it's easy for me to find them.
