Default Woodlice in Pots



Then do tell us what damage they are causing, and what they find to
eat in your house.

Janet.




I did think they were eating the fruit in the garden as I was ending up
grabbing handfuls of them when I picked strawberries a while back but now I
am on the look out for slugs as suggested in another posting to find out if
I have wrongly accused my resident woodies!

As for in the house, I am not aware of any damage at all. They congregate
under my doormats outside and seem to like coming in when they see fit and
leave plenty of evidence of their presence with droppings. It's the sheer
numbers that descend that I object to. The house is less than ten years old
and there is not one iota of damp in it although it is quite low lying and
my driveway is one of the lowest points in the village - turns into quite a
river durng bad rainstorms.

Perhaps they just like me and I've been mean but they don't get beyond the
front door any more.

My neighbour had the real problem with them camping under her furniture but
she can't work out why and Rentokil can't answer that either.
