Default Vermetid Snails

I seem to be having what soon could be considered an explosion of these snails.

Anyone have anything that has worked to get rite of them? Manually killing them could be challenging in my rock work.

find them, cover it up with epoxy/glue. if you can remove the rock, then break the tube and pull them out.

I shot them up with sodium hydroxide. Just used a hypodermic needle to get it into the tube. Cleared them up right quick.
