Where's a good spot to look for slugs?

I'm in the city so there aren't many places to look. I know where to get snails and worms from but haven't really seen any slugs around.

Under boards, under leaf litter. Under and on rocks. They like to destroy gardens so around Veggies. You can also bait them to you by putting out some raw cabbage or other leaf veg. Slugs don't like direct sunlight so look in shady areas. Shady and wet or moist areas are where they will be found.

Get yourself a piece of plywood. Take a hose and spray it down real thoroughly with water and let it soak in as much as you can, then take said piece of plywood and choose an area in your grass to lay it. right next to a building works particularly well. Wet the ground underneath the spot where you want to put the board. Chop up and throw some veggies and lettuce on the ground there and put the board on top of it. Leave it alone for a few days. If there are slugs in the area, you better believe they'll be coming!!!

I live in the city and find that every fall the carved pumpkins we leave outside will be invaded by small brown slugs
if you catch the right time of the night they come out of the openings (eyes mouth) and it's quite creepy

Thanks for all the help!

I went to the park today since I was done work early and found the motherload! A bunch of teeny snails and worms under some rocks and small logs, but only 1 slug, really big one too. Everybody there looked at me like I was mad, crashing around through a small wooded area, lifting up rocks and scooping up bugs.

I put a snail in with him and he's kinda been playing with it. I'll drop in a little worm and see if he's more interested in that.

Success with the worm! He ate! Now he's cruising around looking for more!

I get just as much satisfaction from the odd looks people give me, as I do having the garter herself! Next spring (if I'm still living here), I intend to start asking people if I can harvest earthworms in the parts of their yards that are wooded and over-grown. Could probably make a few extra $$$ cleaning up yards in the process.

I found a LOT of worms yesterday when I was raking leaves in the yard. The recent 3 days of rain made everything so soaked and mushy, there was snakie food EVERYWHERE!
