Angry Vermetid Pest Elimination

There seems to be a lack of knowledge on how to eradicate vermetid snails from our reef aquaria. I've read the fancy articles that talk about what the snails are, but if I hear one more person say they are beneficial filter feeders I'm going to puke. For those of us that have tanks infested with them all we want to know is how to get rid of them.

Has anyone had any success eliminating these critters from their tank short of breaking them off one by one. I think we can skip the suggested zebra leg hermit crabs, copper banded butterfly fish, "some" wrasses, solutions.

How can we deal with these pests once and for all.

And if you're going to mention how they're beneficial, balance is good...bla bla bla, save it. This thread is for suggestions/success stories for how to get rid of vermetid snails.
