Default Bush snails: updates on caffeine, hydrogen peroxide?

Hey all,

I caught a bush snail in the roots of an Onc I recently bought online. That same order arrived with a cattleya with sunken root tips which now I suspects bush snails might've been snacking on.

I see a lot of recommendations on the forum to use diluted coffee: half coffee/half water, with a little rubbing alcohol.

I wonder if over the years folks have any updates on this or other techniques to eradicate bush snails. Do you stick to spraying the roots or do you drench the medium?

Also, other online forums swear by using hydrogen peroxide against bush snails. The consensus on this one seems to be that hydrogen peroxide's damage to roots is not worth it.

Any recent updates, how are you successfully dealing with bush snails?
