Bugs on Cream Peas?

I planted some cream peas in one of my raised garden beds this year. They are about a foot tall, but there are slugs and small flying bugs on them.
What can I use to take care of these - hopefully without harming the bees and good bugs?

mix some dawn soap and water in a sprayer or spray bottle and soak the leaves thoroughly on both sides…do this in the late afternoon when the pollinators are gone. You can also mix in some tobacco tea (red man soaked in hot water) and/or a splash of listerine

Get yourself some slug bait. It is available at any garden center and comes in a can about like sugar comes in. I think Ortho makes it,

I did this along in three bowls of beer with pieces of orange and killed a few slugs.
