They take control over my tank...

What is the best way to destroy them? Some liquid solution? An Assassin Snail?

Thanks
 
Couple ways you can get assassins but the more they eat the more they reproduce but when they eat a little they don't.
Another way is you could put blanched cucumber I believe I know lettuce or a chard or some sort that will float so you can just throw it away.
Chemicals are a Very last resort that being said I would go with assassin snails.

Hope this helped
 
Also, feed less. You can do a few manual removals, and then feed less. The snails won't over populate if they have nothing to eat.
 
Try placing an algae tab in a net or small jar (laid on its side) on the bottom of the tank overnight. Then in the morning just pull it up full of snails. That worked for me, and combined with less feeding my pest snail population died off.
 
Can I put the 1x Assassin Snail with 2x Nerite Snails in 30g?

Thanks
