I know it says you dont want to introduce fish but there are some species that do love to eat those little snails. Yes your shrimp population may take a hit but probably just the new born.
Clown or Yoyo loaches love to eat small snails.
Certain puffers also devour them with relish. The thing is you'll have to re-locate the fish when the job is done or bring them back to the lfs.
Another way is a trap (what Lady Hobbs was refering too).
Get a small glass jar like a salt shaker. Remove the top. Be sure the jar is clean. Then put a small piece of lettuce or perhaps some fish food in the jar, and fill it with aquarium water. Carefully sink it on the bottom of the aquarium. The next day it will have lots of small snails inside! remove them and repeat the process.
