A couple of products i know of are, Snale Be Gone & CopperSafe. I would assume that they may be harmful to frogs because t can be harmful to fish.

I would not touch those products they can kill just about everything in the tank when used in fish tanks. my experience with my planted tanks has been that snails don't do well in very soft water they need the calcium to create there shells and with out a constant supply in the watter they really have trouble. the best way i have found to remove them is to either just place a dish of some sort with some blanched lettuce in the water and pull them out after dark when they come out to feed. do this for a while and you can get most of them or if your lazy like me just create a trap with a water bottle cut off the top and stick it into the bottle and just place some lettuce in there they crawl in and stay there than just remove the bottle in the morning that has worked in my plant tanks with looooads of snails.
Hope this makes a little sense i have not had much sleep so well you know
