Ely Woodlice Control

Woodlice are a widespread nuisance pest. They generally 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 could be a nuisance and can cause dirt or mess in certain areas. Woodlice are harmless and don’t eat any wood that’s not already rotten, so an infestation can generally be taken as a symptom of damp in your house which should be rectified. The easiest way to eradicate a woodlouse infestation is to get rid of their food source, so make sure that any areas of damp or rotting wood are removed and treat the entire area with a dehumidifier.

Insecticide treatments can be effective at managing 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 discourage any more from coming in. However, they usually must be reapplied every couple of weeks.

Qualified pest control companies can survey the area and discover any damp or rotten wood which might be harbouring woodlice. They can also inform you of the best way to prevent woodlice from re-entering the property if they are removed. If there is an extremely severe problem with a woodlouse infestation in the garden, expert pest control companies will be able to inform you of the likely reason for this as well as how to control the infestation. It is normally not encouraged to simply treat the region with insecticide to kill the woodlice as this may cause even more damage to the area.
