um, i would think that if you cleaned plants well before introducing to your tank that the coccoons would be eliminated and they wouldn't be introduced into your system. same deal with the rocks.

might be easier to replace the plants and rocks and take preventitive measures to stop them from being reintroduced in the future. just make sure you clean everything very well before you put it in so you're not brining coccoons in to hatch.

it should drastically decrease the liklihood of them regenerating, but you'll still need to take care of the ones you've got. probably won't rid of those.

its a start. if it doesn't work it will certainly take less effort and fewer rinses of cleaning the gravel. the snail killer probably won't work on the coccoons so keep it up for a while. you would probably have to keep it up until you cleaned next anyway.
