They overwinter in houses.

Although I have plenty in the garden, mine don't, as far as I know.

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?

Your help would be appreciated.

Woodlice are on the side of the angels.

I have just harvested about one third cube metre of compost, lovely
crumbly
stuff, teeming with woodlice, worms, ants, etc. etc.
Doesn't worry me.

Good stuff.

The woodlice in my greenhouse have eaten the seed leaves of my marigolds.
