Basically just that. Wait for the right time, and "grab" one. Use an exhaustor, or just let it run into a small box, to not harm it.

I pick them up if they are walking around on the ground (looking for a place to hide) most of the time i just let them walk in a small box and then put them in to a tube.
Make sure you don't harm them. ;)
