Camberley Woodlice Control

Woodlice are a common nuisance pest. They usually live outside and should typically be left alone as they offer a vital service to the ecosystem of the backyard. However, when woodlice are indoors they might be a nuisance and can cause dirt or mess in some 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 most effective way to eradicate a woodlouse infestation is to get rid of their food source, so ensure 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 generally must be reapplied every couple of weeks.

Professional pest control companies can survey the region and discover any damp or rotten wood that may be harbouring woodlice. They can also inform you of 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 will be able to give you advice on the probable source of this as well as how to fix the infestation. It is usually not advised to simply treat the area with insecticide to kill the woodlice as this may cause even more damage to the area.
