They are killing my plants, and taking my plecos food.
And some of them have outgrown guppy eating size.><
What can I do to get ride of them?
I have one that is in the hatchery and it's cool there, but the others are killer.
Snails.

If the snails are small enough you can put the food in a plastic saltshaker with large holes. Then drop it in the fishtank and all of the snails go into the shaker and it can be removed from the tank. I had to do this in my gold fish tank once for an outburst of snails that i got from some anacharis. I tried the food thing but the goldies would eat it before the snails ever got there. After i did that there were still a small few snails in my tank, but as soon as I would see one, I would take it out and SQUISH IT in a papertowel! 
...Also you should make sure that the snails are dead before you dispose of them...to make sure that they don't become someone else's problem!
