Definitely a working deterent, we use the cut off top and bottoms of plastic coke bottles sunk flush into the ground, and I ask our local hostelry to save us a quart coke bottle of beer every time they clean the pumps [NO I'm not allowed near it  ].

I think it is best to raise the containers off the ground to prevent trapping other crawlies.
My mum has been using the beer & grapefruit thing for a few years now and she seems to have an endless supply of slugs!!! Still it seems effective enough!
