Snails?! Yep, snails on Staghorn Fern indoors

User

Today I found some snails on my Staghorn Fern (Platycerium bifurcatum), any idea how can I get rid of them and prevent them from coming back?

The staghorn is mounted on a wooden board and has been hanging indoors for several years, I was really surprised to find them when watering the moss bed. I have no idea how the snails got inside and this is the first I've ever seen them. Weird, right?

A few years ago it had a scale infestation, which I treated with some manual plucking and a long soak in a solution of Bonide systemic. Would something similar do the trick for snails?
