Woodlice do no harm unless something is already damaged, say a wasp has been
at a strawberry for instance. Antsm well some people go crackers over them
but I live and let live. If you let a few ants worry you then ..... start of

slow it's a baddy but I prefer to give the benefit of the doubt unil proved
otherwise
