What shouldn't be there?

Hydrogen peroxide 3% is something you can drench the entire plant and media with and in my experience kills the large snails found in the garden. Surely it will kill the small ones. I believe it also would be an effective method.
I only meant that if these two things work on a large snail.. more specifically if these things kill the large snails on contact (peroxide works faster than DE) it should do the same for any bush snail it comes into contact with. I'm in no way claiming it will eradicate an infestation instantly.

Bush snails are quite content to stay deep in the media, so diatomaceous earth is useless. What works on large snails does not work on bush snails.
