Havant Woodlice Control

Woodlice are a widespread nuisance pest. They usually live outside and should generally be left alone as they offer a vital benefit to the ecosystem of the backyard. However, when woodlice are indoors they may be 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 the house that ought to be resolved. The simplest 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 managing 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 discourage any more from coming in. However, they typically have to be reapplied every couple of weeks.

Specialist pest control companies can survey the region and discover any damp or rotten wood which may be harbouring woodlice. They can also help you with the best way to stop woodlice from re-entering the property if they are removed. If there is a very serious problem with a woodlouse infestation in your garden, skilled pest control companies can advise you of the probable cause of this and how to remove the infestation. It is normally not encouraged to simply treat the area with insecticide to kill the woodlice as this may cause even more damage to the area.
