a similar thread was just started like this, you can do a couple things. assassin snails will take care of them quick, you can put lettuce leaves in the tank at night and take it out with the snails on it in the morning and repeat that, or you can use a snail trap which also works really well

Snails are usually most active at night. Hang a leaf of lettuce on the inside of your tank tonight. Tomorrow morning, they should have all flocked to the lettuce, so just take it out and dispose of it.

Another option would be a snail eating fish. Clown loach, yoyo loach, puffers, ect.

Hope this helps.
