Yeah unfortunately there isn't ever a easy way of removing snails.
I've torn a tank down twice redoing substrates trying to get rid of mini ramshorn and nothing seemed to work.
Over time they really are not as prevalent which may be do to low gh/kh I have now, or food has gone away. I still have plenty of brown algae so I'm thinking the gh kh is contributing to my lower numbers.
Gh 3 and kh 0 btw. I'm also running CO2 so maybe acidic water could help.
You can soak plants in alum as well I did 1 tablespoon per gallon and soaked plants for 30 hrs. Killed all pest snails except mini ramshorn eggs.
