How do I get rid of them?

I've heard clown loaches will take care of snails.

How do I get rid of them?

Some people use fish such as loaches to control them , but not sure what specie though also depends on what fish you already have in your aquarium. Also you can buy assassin snail that kills other species of snails. Personally I would break down the aquarium , and toss out the substrate , filter media. Live plants sometimes have snails hidden on them.

Somehow you brought them in your tank so don't make the same mistake again. Can be from plants.

Are you talking about trumpet sails?

lettuce leaf in a jar or bottle. Leave overnight. When full then throw out. Rinse and repeat as it's said till no more snails.

I got mine from plants. Snails are supposed to be very sensitive to copper.

 

[ehh]

I had a snail problem in my planted tank. I added one assassin snail and he keeps it in check.

Do assassins kill ramshorns?

I've considered copper, but I also have scale less fish as well.
