I've noticed that some of the LFA treatments kill the snails as well.

I'm not sure about that. It's easy to tell if the snails have eggs in them when you crush them. They are bright yellow. That would be amazing if the eggs could survive outside the crushed snail. I've crushed one before and came back to it days later and the snail and eggs were all dried up and looked pretty dead.
Does anyone know if the snails have any natural predators?
