Woodlice are a common nuisance pest. They typically live outside and should typically be left alone as they offer a vital service to the ecosystem of your garden. However, when woodlice are indoors they might be a nuisance and can cause dirt or mess in some areas. Woodlice are harmless and don’t eat any wood that is not already rotten, so an infestation can usually be taken as a symptom of damp in the house which should be rectified. The simplest way to eradicate a woodlouse infestation is to remove their food source, so make certain that any areas 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 applied 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 usually need to be reapplied every couple of weeks.
Specialist pest control companies can survey the location and discover any damp or rotten wood which might be harbouring woodlice. They can also inform you of the most effective way to stop woodlice from re-entering the house if they are removed. If there is an extremely severe problem with a woodlouse infestation in your garden, skilled pest control companies will be able to inform you of the likely reason for this as well as how to fix the infestation. It is normally not advised to simply treat the area with insecticide to kill the woodlice as this may cause even more damage to the area.
