First identify why they are there. Overfeeding? Algae? I have a few in my tank and they do a good job of keeping the glass clean

Would you mind posting them to me? I need as many snails as possible at the moment.

I will pay the postage costs

If you are certain that you will never want to keep any inverts in that tank, you can use copper to be rid of them. Copper will outright kill snails but it is also deadly to shrimp and many other invertebrates. In large enough doses it is also deadly to fish. Fortunately the inverts are killed by doses that will not affect your fish.
