Strathearn Pest Control provide solutions to problem woodlice.

Woodlice – Order Isopoda

History

These are grey/brown animals with a shielded surface similar to a slated roof, hence the common name of 'slaters'. Adults are around 5 – 17 mm long, depending upon species. The order Isopoda contains more than 10,000 species worldwide and all woodlice need a damp atmosphere in which to survive.

They are only found where the humidity is high.

Why Control Woodlice ?

Woodlice are harmless to man and do not bite. However, they are considered a nuisance pest and there have been reports of woodlice causing damage to soft fruit

Methods of control

• Identify the source eg damp timber etc and where possible remove
• To prevent further infestation work to lower moisture content in the air
• Carry out a spray treatment with an approved residual insecticide in any areas where woodlice are encroaching
