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've already said I do not have a compost heap.
