Default Woodlice in Pots

In article , les
writes
I have just emptied out some pots in which I had spring flowering plants,
(daffodils and primula). I found lots of woodlice in the compost. Do these
woodlice damage the plants? Do they eat the roots? Is it safe to use the
compost in the garden?

Most gardens are full of woodlice. The few you add from the pot are not
going to make any difference.

AFAIK they eat dead stuff rather than live stuff.
