I have a snail infestation. How do I manage them in a human way, and what are the risks for my fish? (imgur.com)

They came as eggs with plants I bought months ago. I honestly don't have a problem with them but over the week their population EXPLODED. They are everywhere and covering almost the entire floor. I understand I may need to get rid of them but they are still are live beings and I dont want to be inhuman. How do I get rid of them?

Loaches, hands down!! They are not expensive, have interesting/active personalities, and completely ate all my snails. They have decent patterns too. Could just get 2, assuming tank can handle more biomass.
