When they are knocked off the plant by the soapy water, do they die? When going around holding my container I had to keep an eye on the cup because some of them would climb on the bodies of fallen comrades and attempt to climb up the side and escape!
Flicking the side of the container was enough to knock them back down and by that time they seemed too weary to try it again.
