I vote for the lemon juice method. I've done the peppermint shrimp, and the copperband butterfly route (both duds in my case), and had great sucess with injecting lemon juice using a syringe. It was cheap, simple, and they never came back.

Will lemon juice hurt any corals or fish that are around? Wouldnt it contaminate the water at all?

I've never had a problem with it. I'm always careful to use as little as possible though. I use so little, that I doubt it impacts anything.

I have had success with hot vinegar too - doesn't hurt anything else.
