I always felt bad for em, we either drowned them in alcohol or froze them. I also felt guilt boiling the ecoli I spent time genetically engineering (in a genetics uni lab)

I have rescued so many fruit flies from my beer. You hardly need to drown them, just present them with a 5% ethanol by volume solution and let them drown themselves

(My beer system is outside in my courtyard, fruit flies love the drip tray)

I'm still confused. Based on my hometown, are you referring to insects, or rednecks!?
