bad snail infestation

[OrchidNut555]

Hi people

For weeks now I've been encountering snails in my orchids, I do believe they are bush snails. I have around 40 plants and yesterday after finding yet another snail I had had enough. absolutely enough.

I heard the coffee method works well, so I spent 3.5 hours soaking my entire collection (took so long BC of space issues). today I read some people have had plants die BC of it. I also see some say it repels the snails but doesn't kill them. I also read hydrogen peroxide kills them, some say it doesn't. but peroxide is also shown to harm orchid roots. I'm in Europe and I don't have access to sevin.

I have recently repotted all of my plants as they needed it, most of which are cattleyas that won't handle another repot now.

I'm at a total loss. I feel extremely defeated. does anyone have any words of advice? I feel like my entire collection may be doomed and I'm at my wits end here. sorry if I sound whiney but this has been so energy draining as plants are one of the very few things that make me happy
