Default Woodlice

Damp Beetles or any other name.

As Conkers will deter/remove spiders from a room/house, what will
deter/remove Woodlice?

Any tips. They even come in/accumulate in a very dry atmosphere, but are of
course worse in a damp environment.

Spiders? lack of conkers?

They tend to follow damp wood or cellulose. Do you have a damp problem?

I understood that they only eat rotten wood, which they did voraciously
until I got a concrete garage which stays dry inside.

I also believe that they are useful in compost bins.
