wood lice

[chuff]

Hi everybody, This all new to me so I have lots of questions.
On my new plot I have a very high population of wood lice, at the moment im not growing anything just clearing and getting things ready for next year, the plot has been completely cover with black polythene and the wood lice are munching there way through all the decaying matter underneath, my question is because there is such a large number of them will they cause me a problem in the future? I would hate to turn up at my lottie and find that they have eaten the shed :'(

They are primary creators of compost from decaying plant matter, which is what they eat. They only become a problem when there is not enough decaying plant matter for them to eat when the may attack seedlings etc. However since they like darkness and damp you should find thathen you remove the plastic and expose the soil to the light they will toddle off somewhere else, like you compost heap most likely.
