From:- Cheryl Lawson. For humanely killing/culling fish. Try the following formula

"First mix: 1ml - Clove oil together with 9 mls Vodka which will make a 10 ml stock solution. Place fish in a container with 1 gallon water and add the 10 ml stock solution to it. The fish will go to sleep quietly. The clove oil (eugenol), is used as a mild anaesthetic in fish for surgery and the Vodka is necessary to dissolve the clove oil in water. While waiting, have a tot of Vodka yourself."
