About this deal

It’s worth mentioning that woodlice aren’t harmful to health. If fact, in the garden they are one of nature’s cleaners, clearing up rotting leaves and debris on your behalf. They’re also useful in your compost bin as they’ll help to turn your rotting fruit and vegetables into organic matter. At Pest Control Direct, we’ve tried and tested every woodlice and insecticide product on the market, and here’s a round-up of the most effective woodlice treatment products: There are different ways to get rid of them, some won’t harm them, while other pest control methods involve the use of commercial chemicals which will kill them. There are of course other ‘home remedies’ which may be worth investigating if you have a woodlice problem. Whether they actually work or not is questionable. Pesticide sprays such as Pro-Active C Woodlice Killer, are very effective in killing woodlice however, treatment indoors alone will probably not control the problem totally. Woodlice originate from outdoors and to gain good and effective control, you will need to take action outside the home in addition to internal control measures. Remove vegetation from close adjacent the building, especially plants that grow up external walls, such as Ivy.
