They run like the bloody clappers but with my 2 year old son the other day, we cornered and murdered one by bludgeoning it to death with the vet from Happyland.....

Gaffa tape! Seriously, they love it! Just leave some on the floor, sticky side up and they'll try to walk on it and then get stuck! Effective AND fun!
