Caffeine against slugs is in June 27 issue

Sorry, I had coupla issues lying on my desk. "Caffeine as a Repellent for
Slugs and Snails" is on page 915 of the June 27 issue. Turns out even a
low percentage in a spray is effective because its extremely water soluble
and quickly taken up through the mucus and into the bodies of the beasties.

Check out the article in the June 20, 2002 issue of Nature or go to
www.nature.com/nature. Would my coffee grounds work too?

What was the percentage mentioned as being effective? In the online
abstract it appeared to be 12% but could it have been 1.2%. In my
opinion 12% would be pretty high given the current cost of caffeine.
