Combating woodlice

Environmentally friendly remedies and natural solutions against woodlice in the home and garden

1. General information about woodlice

Woodlice are crustaceans and live predominantly in dark, damp places. They feed on dead plant matter, wood, and organic remains. They are beneficial to the ecosystem because they contribute to decomposition. However, woodlice are often considered a nuisance in homes and gardens, especially when they appear in basements, pantries, greenhouses, or under flowerpots.

Woodlice prefer high humidity. Therefore, they are often found in basements, bathrooms, garages, or garden beds . A large number of them may indicate excess moisture or organic matter.

2. Recognizing woodlice – typical signs

An infestation with woodlice is indicated by typical signs:

  • Small, grey crustaceans (approx. 1–2 cm long) with a shell and many legs
  • Frequent occurrence in damp rooms such as basements, bathrooms or greenhouses
  • Woodlice under flowerpots, boards or stones , as they love darkness
  • Damage to young plants or roots in heavily infested gardens

While individual woodlice are harmless, a more severe infestation can weaken plants in the garden or potted plants.
