At this time of year you should get away with keeping them in cat litter trays on the floor of your shed. Warm periods (i know, whats one of them?) or sudden changes in weather can kill them though. Best bet is a bait fridge. Put enough water in the trays to just cover their backs, change the water daily at first and then every few days and they will keep for over a fortnight.
