You could use beer traps but water doesn't work. They seem to just climb
out of the buckets when I've tried that. Salt water kills them.

If the OP is worried about the salt content then, why not dilute the bucket
and then compost? You would only need to fill the bucket 3/4 inches of
salty water?


I believe the OP said she'd doesn't have room for a compost heap hence
the query as to what to do with the bodies.
