Ive never used it but i hear Potassium permanganate solution is the best stuff to get rid of hitchhikers. Maybe someone else can chime in.

I've used Potassium Permaganate, it is great for snail eggs and hydra and the such. Some snails with trapdoors will get past the dip, though. You'll need to pick them off the plant to rid them.
