Title: Woodlice
Post by: mellie on September 06, 2004, 15:53:13

What can I use to get rid or woodlice from my greenhouse?
The little blighters have eaten most of my jalapinos, sweet peppers and cherry tomatos!
Please help because getting cross doesnt seem to make them go away... >:(

Oh thanks for the reminder Mellie.

I found loads living in the brown leaves on my strawbs, which I was pulling off at the weekend. Will they do the plants any harm?

 ::) Has anyone had experience of woodlice eating their potatoes?
I suspected slugs but an entire family emerged when I cut one open  :-\ :-\ :-\

I suspect they exploited damage already caused by slugs, wireworms or other pests.
