Woodlice are a widespread nuisance pest. They typically live outside and should in general be left alone as they provide a vital service to the ecosystem of the backyard. However, when woodlice are indoors they could be a nuisance and can cause dirt or mess in some areas. Woodlice are harmless and don’t eat any wood that’s not already rotten, so an infestation can typically be taken as a symptom of damp in your property which should be resolved. The easiest way to eradicate a woodlouse infestation is to get rid of their food source, so make certain that any patches of damp or rotting wood are removed and treat the entire area with a dehumidifier.
Insecticide treatments can be effective at controlling a woodlouse infestation. To be effective insecticides should be employed as a barrier around areas that the woodlice are entering through. Powder or lacquer treatments will kill any woodlice that enter and should deter any more from coming in. However, they typically must be reapplied every couple of weeks.
Experienced pest control companies can survey the area and discover any damp or rotten wood which may be harbouring woodlice. They can also help you with the most effective way to stop woodlice from re-entering the home if they are removed. If you have an extremely serious problem with a woodlouse infestation in your garden, professional pest control companies will be able to advise you of the likely source of this as well as how to correct the infestation. It is usually not advised to simply treat the area with insecticide to kill the woodlice as this might cause further damage to the area.

Get Anerley pest removal
Anerley is a district in the south east of London inside the London Borough of Bromley. It is west of Bromley and it is 7 miles south south-east of Charing Cross. It’s the previous site of the Crystal Palace.
Anerley has not been its own independent entity, but always a general district. Just before the closure and relocation of the Crystal Palace to Penge Place at the top of Sydenham Hill, Anerley was an empty part of Penge Common that didn’t develop till the 1800s. In 1827, a Scottish silk manufacturer, William Sanderson, purchased land around the former Penge Common, and constructed the very first home in the district. He named it ‘Anerly’, which is a Scottish word for ‘solitary’ or ‘only’, and the road then became known as Anerley Road as well as the vicinity.
There are a lot of transport links in Anerley, including 9 bus routes, two A roads, two rail stations and one London Overground station and aTram station at Birkbeck station. Transport for London had proposed the extension of Tramlink services from Harrington Road tram stop to the bus station on Crystal Palace Parade by way of Anerley Road, but Mayor Boris Johnson cancelled the £170m extension in November 2008.
Notable persons that lived in Anerley consist of Thomas Crapper, who promoted the flush toilet, in his retirement; Walter de la Mare, popular poet and author of ghost stories; and James Leavey, award winning Punch magazine columnist.
