Do it in the middle of your 'lights on' period when they are fully open for ease of injection and less risk of cell release
A steady hand and an insulin syringe are best
Get as close as you can without touching it, or creating water movement, or they will start to close. If so, wait 'till they open
Then, get close and WHAM
It'll shrivel up taking the juice in with it and 'buh bye' pest
