Also, when you said: "you just stomp on them", I would advise against that.
Sure kill the buggers but these giant African snails will use up their last bit of energy and produce hundreds of eggs if you simply step on them and crush their shell. Sure they die from the stomp but you can do an experiment for yourself and see. Crush one, then come back a month or two later to discover a ton of visible little eggs all under the shell pieces.
I use a bucket of fertilizer. (potassium salts) In they go to their salty death. No eggs produced. They become part of the fertz treatment after that.

And after the eggs hatch, the squashed mother's guts is "protein" that serves as food for the young snails. Don't just crush them.
