Mani molluscicides are very nasty chemicals! I would take the organic route and do the saucer of beer thing. Let your plants dry out a bit to encourage the buggers to go drown in the beer.

If you go the chemical route choose an old fashioned copper sulfate base molluscicide. They work well on the most common pest around here (Bush Snails).

More inportantly as the big growers how they avoid infestation to begin with and incorporate what you can. I hang 60% of my orchids and the rest are on steel wire shelfs which they don't seem to like to slither on.

Let us know what you try and what works!
