Spray with soapy water or squash them between your fingers.

warm soapy water as already said will do the job (ie fairy liquid )

just to clarify things,warm soapy water doesn't wash the pests away,the washing up liquid breaks the surface tension of the water and the pests then drown when sprayed.
one drop is enough to do the job. |
