Steam n Dry Pest Control Auckland Services provides woodlice control in West Auckland, North Shore, Eastern Bays, South Auckland and Hibiscus Coast. Indeed, woodlice loves to remain in damp, dimly lit and moist places. This also means that there has to be something going on you’ll need to handle around your home since they frequently opt for outside the house.
In most cases, you will find woodlice outside beneath rocks, rotting wood or perhaps underneath plant containers around your home. We can do various actions and methods to keep them away from our homes and outdoors where they are supposed to be. Below are a few beneficial recommendations that will help prevent them from entering your home.
Woodlice usually never cause any damage to wood but possibly acquire their name because they often reside in rotting logs and old tree trunks. They spend most of their time outdoors, underneath piles of damp leaves or decomposing garden waste materials, just about anywhere, wet and dark.
Examine your gutters and ensure they’re effectively draining and not developing excessive dampness. If it is the gutter, clean and fix it. If you discover any cracks in the foundation, use caulks on the brakes to seal them off. Also, keeping them away is a wise action for appropriate home maintenance.
Remove any rocks, old wood or plant containers close to your home, as these are likely to be the hiding spots for these insects. Similarly, get these materials off your home so they do not venture in.
If you want to try this approach, there are two methods to begin this. Firstly, there is electronic pest control. It is a plug-in device that transmits ultrasonic waves, which drive those horrible woodlice outside your home. Thus, it should be detrimental to humans, birds, cats, dogs or fish.
But, you should not employ this technique if you have animals like gerbils, guinea pigs, or hamsters. Also, it could result in problems with these types of pets, even chemical pest control and removal techniques. Go to your local home improvement store and buy a chemical specific to this type of pest. Do not forget that most chemicals are dangerous, but if that does not cause concern to you, then all is good.
Well, with these valuable points, the woodlice would never want to live in your home again, which is good!
