A coffee solution sprayed on plants or watered over the soil can repel
or kill slugs and snails.

A spray solution of 0.1 percent caffeine (a cup of instant coffee
contains about 0.05 percent caffeine) will repel slugs, and a solution
of 1-2 percent will kill them.

It is not known how caffeine kills the molluscs, but it seems to damage
the nervous system.


watch out for the animal rights people, they'll be after you.
