I take a tapestry needle (long, big eye) and thread the end threads back into the serging.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!! Super light bulb moment for me! LOL Thank you SO much for responding! I feel like you've given out a trade secret though or something! LOL

Another way some people use is to zig zag (with their regular machine) over the end of the serging.
Happy sewing!
