Good evening,

We have just moved into our flat and every night our patio walls that are newly painted in a light cream colour are crawling with woodlice that come out of the woodwork (literally!)

Has anybody got any homemade remedies/ideas to eradicate them or deter them?

Otherwise, any good products out there?

Thanks
Duncan

I don't suppose knowing that their natural preditors are toads and shrews helps :lol:

OMG :pale: http://everything2.com/e2node/woodlouse includes a recipe for woodlice fritters! :pukeleft:

What about sprinkling some diatomaceous earth along the edge of the patio, where the wall meets the floor?
