Don't worry to much about them if they are in your sump. Once they get into the main, and start giving you issues, then you can worry. lol But not a huge issue for now.

Im all for removing them, but the practice of removing them by hand is almost useless. SOME ppl may have success with this, but understand that they hide everywhere, and finding every single one is almost impossible. You can pick off a few from the glass, but I wouldn't go searching for them. And like I said before, unless they are giving you trouble, the sump is a good place for them.
