I just get the vac in there and slurp them out.

I guess there is a couple of good reasons, 1. potential for fire - though fairly unlikely unless there were lots in there, they were all dry, and you have lots of sparking shorts. 2. they get wet and sludgy and start a little rust habit - IMO much more likely.

They are just messy and untidy - get rid of them.

Cheers
