Vinegar will kill them off. But before resorting to such a drastic measure, why not offer to others? They can dig out and take home. Nextdoor.com is a perfect way for you to do this as it only reaches your immediate local neighbors.

  Great way to let neighbors know if your pet is missing, local activities and fund raising events, people give away free stuff, advertise garage sales, and my favorite is sharing info on local contractors, plumbers, roofers, etc. I found an awesome pet sitter and excellent handyman.

My first thought, like the two answers above, is: Somebody will want them. I did know about Nextdoor.com Or maybe try your local Patch. I didn't know about Freecycle.org but I'm going to keep it in mind. Thanks!
