Milton Keynes Woodlice Control

Woodlice are a common nuisance pest. They typically live outside and should in general be left alone as they provide an essential benefit to the ecosystem of the garden. However, when woodlice are indoors they could 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 normally be taken as a symptom of damp in the house which should be resolved. The easiest way to eliminate a woodlouse infestation is to remove their food source, so ensure 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 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 often need to be reapplied every couple of weeks.

Expert 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 property if they are removed. If you have a very severe problem with a woodlouse infestation in the garden, expert pest control companies will be able to inform you of the probable reason behind this and how to remove the infestation. It is usually not recommended to simply treat the area with insecticide to kill the woodlice as this may cause additional damage to the area.
