Woodlice are a typical nuisance pest. They often live outside and should typically be left alone as they offer an essential benefit 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 normally 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 make certain 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 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 usually have to be reapplied every few weeks.
Specialist pest control companies can survey the area and discover any damp or rotten wood which might be harbouring woodlice. They can also advise you of the most effective way to stop woodlice from re-entering the house if they are removed. If you have a very serious problem with a woodlouse infestation in your garden, skilled pest control companies will be able to advise you of the probable source of this as well as how to control the infestation. It is typically not encouraged to simply treat the region with insecticide to kill the woodlice as this might cause further damage to the area.
