          cover in cold water and add hot water slowly untill they die. dead easy (sorry couldnt help that. also no burns. or just freeze them overnight.

              Roll them on your thigh to kill them. No need for storing then as you only kill them as you need them.

                let them have a drink of water then freeze so they do not lose there colour. Lazy way cover them in coke – 20 mins dead and / or floaty stay the same colour as well
