Spray it with soapy water (diluted down) or run your finger and thumb along the stem and SQUISH if you can bear it! or. of course, take it outside and spray it with Bug Killer.

Thank you for that I will get myself a spray bottle today and give it a go. I have been squishing them, but as he is sensitive and closes up i feel guilty about disturbing him!!!!
I know weirdo!!!!
Thanks again
