You’re never going to make your house a 100% woodlouse-free fortress. They live outside. They exist. That’s fine. The goal is to make your home uninviting. Like a hotel with no beds and bad reviews.
Just remember the golden rule: Dry, clean, and sealed. Do those three things, and those little armored pigs will look for a nicer place to crash. Like your neighbor’s compost pile. Oops, sorry, Pam. You’ve got this.
Your To-Do List (Pinky Promise)
Go check your bathroom vent. Right now. Is it dusty? Clean it. Remove dead leaves from the side of your house. Pick up that damp cardboard box. You don’t need to wage war. You just need to be a boring, dry host. And if a woodlouse still shows up? Smile, say “not today,” and sweep it outside. Coffee’s on me.
