How to get rid of woodlice?

Woodlice are more a nuisance than a health hazard surviving in humid conditions and usually indicate your home has a damp problem.

Woodlice favour damp conditions and feed off decaying vegetable matter, dead insects, fungi etc. They do not cause structural damage. The infestation always originates from outside as they wander in usually at night, they are excellent climbers & will often come into houses from the chimney or through cavity walls.
