are there other home remedies that are just as effective and not harm
plants? (I want to buy an anacharis at a store, but all the LFS seems to
have snails in them, so... and I don't want one in my tank..)

5% bleach solution is supposed to work.
Ordinary household bleach (unscented) from the hardware store.

Dip for a couple of minutes
