If anyone who reads this has or will have worms they want rid of in the future, please dont flush them down the toilet, drain or storm systems... Saw a post recently about someone sending a worm on a one way trip to the sea... Thats not funny or proper...
The electrocution method was done in RODI water (didn't want to add current to salt water), 5 mins of electrocution and about 5 or 10 mins of scratching my head. Maybe longer would do? The club soda bath was about 10 minutes or so and even used a 50 ml syringe blasting any holes I could find.
After catching 4 of them a while ago in another tank (with a homemade trap) I left them in a glass of tap water on the counter for 4 days, changing 50% of the water once a day, just to see how long they would survive. On the 4th day they were still alive, gave up the experiment due to smelly water, wrapped them in toilet paper and tossed in the trash.
They've killed 2 fish in the past and many snails so pardon my complete lack of respect for them living.
