Eco-Friendly Ways to Repel and Remove Unwanted Woodlice
Woodlice, often found in damp corners of homes and gardens, are a common pest. While they play a crucial role in nature, their presence indoors is unwanted. Eco-friendly methods to repel and remove them are gaining attention.
In the house, woodlice, also known as pill bugs or sow bugs, are typically found in basements and bathrooms due to their preference for moist and dark areas. To prevent infestations, reduce moisture, seal cracks, and ensure good ventilation. Eco-friendly home remedies include using diatomaceous earth, vinegar sprays, and essential oils like lavender or eucalyptus to repel them.
In the garden, woodlice can be found under stones or in compost piles. To get rid of them, beneficial organisms called nematodes can be used. These tiny roundworms kill woodlice with the help of bacteria and are effective at temperatures above 12 degrees Celsius. They are released in traps for easy application.
Woodlice may be unwanted in living areas, but they have a vital role in nature by breaking down dead plant matter and improving soil. Eco-friendly methods like using diatomaceous earth, vinegar sprays, essential oils, and nematodes can effectively manage woodlice infestations.
