How to Get Rid of a Woodlouse
- 1). Use a broom to sweep the woodlouse into a dustpan and release it outside.
- 2). Use a vacuum for multiple woodlice and open the bin or bag outside to dispose of the contents.
- 3). Use a heavy object or your foot to squish the woodlouse. They do not have the waxy covering of insects, so they squish easily.
- 4). Dry out the affected area. Without food or water, woodlice die of dehydration within 24 hours.
- 5). Use a chemical pesticide on the affected area. Powders affect the soft legs and belly, thus making them more effective than sprays.
- 6). Check all potted plants for additional woodlice.
- 7). Seal all cracks around doors and windows to prevent woodlice from returning.
