About this deal

Woodlice and Pillbugs are outdoor pests that accidentally venture into the home, usually due to there being large numbers of woodlice living outside close to the perimeter of the building. Prevent them from getting into your home by making sure you don’t have any damp, moist places which will attract them.

Woodlice Killer - Sprays, Traps, Powders - DIY Pest Control

It is also important to remove vegetation, woodpiles and anything else that provides a dark moist environment for them that is located close to the house. How to treat Woodlice in the house There are three species that enter houses from the garden - one of which, the pill woodlouse, rolls up into a tight ball when disturbed.If you would also like to learn more about woodlice and how to control them, here is some information and advice about dealing with a woodlouse infestation. Spray around wall/floor junctions in the rooms you are seeing evidence of Woodlice. Ensure pets and children are out of the room whilst spraying and until it is dry after approximately 2 hours. No treatment is necessary but if they persist put right any dampness, remove infested vegetation and use an insecticidal powder or long-lasting spray around door-thresholds or other points of entry. Amateur use products are available from your local garden centre or hardware store. Just make sure you select a product labelled for control of woodlice.

Keeping woodlice out of your home can be a difficult task, especially in older properties. Newer properties or those with modern windows and doors tend to have fewer woodlice inhabiting as it is much harder for them to find a way in. This well-known product works well to treat air vents, outside wall/floor junctions and inside wall/floor junctions, including around poorly sealed windows and doors. We would also recommend application under carpets to give long term protection. Fumers and foggers can get rid of an infestation swiftly. These are particularly useful for hard to reach places as the fumes and mists will get to the smallest places.A single woodlouse, (pea bugs and roly-polies are also commonly used names due to the woodlouse’s ability to roll itself into a ball when in danger) may not bother you too much, however, an infestation of woodlice (the plural for woodlouse) is usually a sign that your home has sufficient damp and decaying wood for them to thrive. If this happens in your home or business it means it’s time to call pest control professionals immediately. Woodlice, which are not known to transmit disease, may cause superficial damage to decorations and possibly furnishing in your home. You may have noticed that they leave a stain if you crush them on the carpet. Normally, damp areas attract woodlice but in most cases, these crustaceans enter your home by accident and are found just wandering around. Woodlice will die in most home environments as they are damp lovers and are soon dehydrated by our warm indoor environments. Powders/Dusts are ideal for use in air vents as this void is a clear entry point into the home. Can also to be applied to outdoor wall/floor junctions, around paving slabs etc. Should you have a heavy infestation it would be good practice to puff powder under carpets or wooden flooring indoors. Once this is applied it will last for as long as it is down, re-apply if swept or vacuumed up. Woodlice will die in most home environments as they love the damp and they soon dehydrate with our warm and usually dry indoor environments. Woodlice are more likely to survive in damp houses, hence, if you’re finding lots of woodlice in your house, it could be an indicator that it has a damp problem. Are Woodlice Harmful? It’s worth mentioning that woodlice aren’t harmful to health. If fact, in the garden they are one of nature’s cleaners, clearing up rotting leaves and debris on your behalf. They’re also useful in your compost bin as they’ll help to turn your rotting fruit and vegetables into organic matter.
