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?


Boiling water. No salt. Works for us. Toooooooo difficult for urglers?

:-((

Try it the simple way for once. Instant death :-))
