The woodlouse feeds only on organic elements such as grass and plant roots. This insect is gregarious and spends most of its day in the shade (underground or under any object that blocks the sun's rays). Woodlice love water because it is the basic need for their survival. In case they feel in danger, they stubbornly resist the predator. During the breeding season, females can give birth to more than 20 babies that go through several stages before becoming adults.

They cannot generate heat for their body. High temperatures are also of paramount importance to these insects for their digestion and blood circulation.

Generally, there are many types of woodlice that can be found in and around residential areas. The woodlouse is one of the most complicated insects, because it can do a lot of damage to your precious property, furniture and other wooden objects in particular. They like wood because it keeps them moist and warm. There are no cases of disease linked to these insects, but they still cause many problems. When you crush these pests, they leave stubborn stains on the floor, furniture, carpets and other objects that are not easy to remove.

These creatures cause moisture in wooden doors, cabinets and walls, wallpapers, making them fragile and hollow from the inside. Moreover, they reduce the life of these items and create hygiene problems for your children and other living beings. One of the most common places where these pests are found is the kitchen due to the availability of water. These insects infect food products and break through the hygiene measures of your home. This is the reason why you must exterminate them from your home.
