Snails on a Log

[ren]

Hi everyone -
I have a log in one of my tanks that I would like to move to a new tank... HOWEVER, I dont' want any of the snails (or their eggs) to go with it. I read somewhere that I could bake the log? Would that work, or is there a better alternative? Thanks in advance.

boil it wor a while.. that'll kill anything unwanted on it.

Salt bath would do the job even more effectively.
