Wood Lice

[wigwam]

Anybody know of an effective treatment to get rid of woodlice infestation?

Wigwam, what part of the house or garden do you have a problem with them?
They are harmless enough, as they feed mainly on dead plant material.

 

[Caveat]

A few things to consider Wigwam:

Have you carried any old or damp wood indoors recently? - a load of them could have fallen off.

They feed on rotting wood - so check for damp in door surrounds etc as this may be a problem anyway.

Check for holes where they may be getting in (and out - because they won't last long in a warm dry house) and use either ant powder or the smellier but more effective solution, creosote.

(by the way, am assuming that this is an indoor problem)

My garden is invested with woodlice, absolutely everywhere because of dampness. I bought "woodlice killer" - a white powder in Woodies about 7 euro and it 100% works - much better than the slug and snail killer!

Hiya
I have a woodlice infestation in our house - place isn't damp and don't know where they are getting in from - just know we often find them crawling around......
What could I use to get rid of these - as they are in the house I really don't want to use anything smelly!!
