besides getting clown loaches and taking them out by hand? They are just getting rediculas. I can't even put zucchini in the tank without them all over it in a matter of minutes.
Anything I can do about these snails...?

I heard skunk botia's kill them i havent seen any snails in my aquarium lately since my big one was eaten by some fish in my aquarium. So u can try a Skunk Botia they dont get big and they like snails 
I tried introducing snails into my tank. a couple pond snails the size of a pea and a ramshorn (I think) the size of a dime. My zebra loach wiped out the two smaller ones withing 5 minutes. The larger one lasted at least a day. I can't find it so I'm not sure what happened.
Seems if you baited them with zucchini, you could remove them "...in a matter of minutes".

Yes, although I do like snails and consider them an important aid in helping me 'ballance' my tank, that is what I have to do some times as well. An irresitable pice of a shrimp pellet and a slice of cucumber allows me to scoop up a bunch of them the next day.
You'll probably never be able to get rid of all of them, if they are MTS, but a small loach or baiting, as mentioned above, would be a good bet...I'd like to know the tank specs before I suggest the small loach, though.
I think I will do that put in a big piece of zucchini and take it out with a bunch of snails. I'll just do that a few times until the population isn't crazy.
I had a complete breakout in my tank. I took a couple of dwarf puffers from another tank, and I haven't seen a snail since

I got a crawfish. One day later he removed the whole population of about 20 snails. They are gone! No where to be seen!
