I just leave them in the traps. With mistings of the leaves,
they sometimes get washed out. As well, they eventually dry up enough
that any small breeze will blow them out. Unless you notice them growing a
fungus
(which they sometimes do) I wouldn't worry about it. However, if you're
very concerned you can pick them out, providing you're delicate enough
not to trigger the trap. Hope this helps.
