What kind of snail is this and how do I get rid of them?
 
1 Attachment(s)
Hi all, I recently received an order with 2 cattleyas from a well-known US vendor. I just noticed one of them has a few tiny snails on it. I grow indoors and have never had to deal with snails before. They were only a few millimeters in size and brown. I attached a close-up photo.

What kind is it and how do I get rid of them for good?

The plants in question were apart from the rest of my collection so I don’t think they’ve spread to my other plants, thankfully.

Bush snails. Lots of people on the Board have had good success with coffee. (Snail baits won't touch them, not attracted).

This is a great thread for a start:

Thank you, I appreciate it. I had read through those already I just wasn't 100% sure that it was Bush snails that I saw, since the pictures online differ wildly from each other.

Little "flying saucers".
