So easy it's redicilous. Two is just for starters, there will be many, many more during nest few weeks, so you actually may want to destroy few of them if you don't want hundreds of them. It takes 2-3 weeks for the little ones to hatch. They then drop to the water (the eggs have to stay above the waterline during the progress though) and already are proper apple snails in a really small scale, and they eat everything the adult ones do too.

I had 9 sets of eggs and had to destroy 2 of them, and will destroy the new ones as well if they are to lay more. I can handle few dozen of them at a time, but not hundreds!
