Woodlice... got loads of them in my house even in the bathroom?

Question

how do i get rid of them and why have i got them x

Answer 1

They are not a huge problem and to cut a very long story down to size I have pasted this from a gardening site bottom line will help keep them out:

Despite their name, woodlice will not damage wood unless it is already very rotten. They are mainly scavengers that feed on rotting vegetation and because of this they are often seen in compost heaps.

Biology
Woodlice spend the daylight hours in dark, damp places. They congregate under logs, flower pots, stones and low-growing plants. They live for up to two years and breed usually once in their second year. At night they move around more freely in search of the decaying vegetation that is their main food source.

Control
Chemical control is not normally necessary as woodlice are rarely harmful. Good hygiene in glasshouses, where woodlice might damage seedlings, will remove hiding places and accumulations of decaying vegetation that shelter woodlice.

Minimise damage by slugs and snails, which woodlice can then enlarge. If it is necessary to use a pesticide against woodlice there are several products containing bendiocarb. These include Doff Woodlice Killer, Ant Stop! Powder and Rentokil Ant and Insect Killer. They are for use in and around buildings, including glasshouses, but should not be put on plants.

Woodlice sometimes cause a nuisance when they wander into houses, although unless they can find a damp place they soon die of dehydration. If this is a persistent problem they can be prevented from entering by placing draught excluder strips around doors and windows.

Answer 2

I guess somewhere you have moisture, check your bathrooms Woodlice, like other crustaceans (e.g. crabs, lobsters, etc.) have gills and require moisture in order to live. If there are large numbers of woodlice indoors, it means that the atmosphere is too damp. The first step would be to ventilate or dry the atmosphere. If a woodlouse enters a dry room it will dry-up within a few hours. Control of woodlice inside the home may be achieved by simply cleaning - as they do not breed indoors. By sealing any potential entry points, you can help to prevent further problems. You can use insecticides to control this pest, but we advise that the above methods are tried first. Insecticides
