Try Sevin dust or liquid. I prefer the dust in the strongest % you can buy. Most other insecticides will probably work but check the label directions first and be sure to check for any residual carry over in the soil or any delays in harvest of any produce in garden.

Dont bother, you will never win. They are very good at hiding.
You can spend loads of money trying to get rid of them. But you would be very lucky to get rid of all of them.
But if you do, more woodlice will walk into your garden from your neighbours.
Dont waste your time, they are harmless and do good.

They live in damp, and particularly like old rotting wood
Get rid of those things, and the woodlice will go elsewhere

We called them "coffin eaters" when I was a child.
Wood lice are only interested in damp wood,They provide a very good service by gobbling up the cellulose.
Apparently if it was not for wood lice, the forest floor would be buried in fallen trees and old branches, and would block out new growth.

Don't get rid of them - they're so cute!
They also help clean your garden by recycling decaying matter.
