I controlled them by just siphoning...it takes daily siphoning but after about 3 days you start to see a real reductuion, then BAMMO!!!! They are gone....If you have a piece of rigid airline tube just connect it to a length of soft airline, then siphon to your sump with a filter sock or even the foot out of a sheer stocking on the end of the siphon in the sump and just siphon til the cows come home!!!!
