I feel your pain.
You can buy alcohol swabs of the sort that diabetics use - about 3 cm square - and fold them and tuck them in to crevices around the base. That way you don't have to pour the alcohol in. I also use a pyrethrin based spray after the alcohol.
Last but not least, inspect and isolate.
