Woodlice are a widespread nuisance pest. They typically live outside and should generally be left alone as they provide a crucial benefit to the ecosystem of the backyard. However, when woodlice are indoors they are often a nuisance and can cause dirt or mess in certain areas. Woodlice are harmless and do not eat any wood that is not already rotten, so an infestation can often be taken as a symptom of damp in your home which should be resolved. The simplest way to eliminate a woodlouse infestation is to get rid of their food source, so make certain that any sections 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 used 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 few weeks.
Experienced pest control companies can survey the region and discover any damp or rotten wood which might be harbouring woodlice. They can also help you with the most effective way to prevent woodlice from re-entering the house if they are removed. If there is an extremely severe problem with a woodlouse infestation in the garden, professional pest control companies can advise you of the probable cause of this and how to correct the infestation. It is usually not recommended to simply treat the region with insecticide to kill the woodlice as this may cause even more damage to the area.
