Issue with Red Slimes in Crimson Badlands

Hello guys I'm having an issue where every time I enter the crimson badlands I have thousands upon thousands of red slimes spawning. They make my game go from running perfectly to barely playable where I'm chugging around the map.
If I use a return scepter my game goes back to running perfectly. I tried going invincible with the tractor mod and setting it where I can attack them with my sword while I drive through. I've cleared thousands but then I go back the next day and the area is still full.
I tried setting the spawn rate lower from the Farm type manager settings and I think it stopped new enemies from spawning cause I'm not being attacked by any serpents but the slimes are all still there.
I tried using the remove monsters mod and I haven't seen any difference in the badlands (or the regular mine) with that mod but that's just a side point.
Any ideas on how I can remove the slimes from that area?

Here's my log as well:

Not sure if you've tried this option, but before loading the game there is an options menu where you can go into the Stardew Valley Expanded settings and you can choose "low memory mode" which limits the amount of enemies that spawn in the Crimson Badlands. Screenshots are found below for reference with the arrow hovering over where I went to find this.
