If you find a lone wood louse, don’t panic. They aren’t going to bite you, steal your food, or start a family in your sock drawer. Simply scoop it up with a dustpan or a piece of cardboard and take it outside. Please don’t flush it down the drain—that’s just mean, and they’ll likely survive and become sewer ninjas.
For a larger invasion, set up damp traps. Roll up a wet newspaper or a piece of cardboard and leave it on the floor overnight. By morning, they’ll have gathered inside, and you can toss the whole thing outside. It’s like a tiny, crunchy retirement home relocation.
If you want to go full warrior, use a spray made from essential oils. Mix water with a few drops of tea tree or eucalyptus oil. Wood lice hate the smell, and it won’t damage your furniture. Just don’t spray it directly on your cat—unless you want a very dramatic feline opera.
