I've used coffee with 100% efficacy. The plant is potted and I mixed brewed coffee with the normal watering. Never had any more snails.

Hi rbarata, do you just essentially use cool black coffee rather than water to water/drench the plants? 100% coffee or like a 50/50 coffee water mix?

Thanks!

I mixed 50% of it in my water. I have used it in only one or two waterings. That was enough. The snails in the photo are tiny, so more susceptible to intoxication with lower qtys of coffee.
