How do I get rid of them? Help

My 50 gallon is overrun with Malaysian Trumpet Snails. I already have 6 assassin snails in there, but I don't think they are enough. I do overfeed the tank, as it is a breeding tank (guppies and bristlenose plecos). Any suggestions?

Ohhhh you have to take the eggs out before they hatch they are on the inside of the cover usually !! I once had I swear 200 babies in my tank. My husband scooped them all out but It took a while before he could. Once they formed shells he was able to scoop them . We gave ours to a local pet store .
