HELP! Woodlice Invasion

Pick them up and chuck them outside.

Oh, and be glad they're not slugs ?

I put a line of salt along the inside of all doors about 1" wide. If any do get in I kill them and into the bin.

I've lived here 26 years so why now and where from ?

It does sound like there’s a problem with damp somewhere. It’s worth checking your guttering, perhaps it’s blocked with leaves?

It's years since I saw wood lice. I used to call them Armadillos There were always plenty in the older house we lived in and I used to joke with my late H and say they were coming from his head.
They'll be coming in from outside I imagine.

Agree with Blossoming, the problem is not the woodlice- but the why. There must be a damp problem and rotten wood somewhere.

Diatomaceous earth is the thing for this, I think.
It still needs to be used with caution if you've pets, I think.

They call them 'slaters' in Scotland. I know a funny story about that.

Thanks for all your helpful posts.

My little b....S come from the garage which shares a wall with the dining room.
They emerge from under the skirting board.
If I can get to them before the cat sees them and eats them alive I just throw them outside.
Perhaps I-will try marking them with a dot of vail polish to see if they find their way back.

I had them in my porch one year and discovered when the replacement door had been put in they hadn't fully sealed the gaps under the frame with sealant. After I sealed the gaps almost standing on my head I've never seen one inside since. They like the damp and decaying wood which fits with the door frame I had replaced it was rotten, so they were homeless when it was removed.

I've had a couple of massive slugs in my kitchen recently ,I used my mothers old remedies Fresh rosemary sprinled anywhere they might come in and broken eggshells around all the drains and vents .Seems to have worked ,dont know if it wuld for slaters but might be worth a try
