Why do woodlice not like light and dry places?

Woodlice prefer dark and moist environments because they are highly sensitive to desiccation; their bodies can lose water quickly in dry conditions. Light and dry areas increase their risk of dehydration, which can be fatal. Additionally, woodlice are primarily nocturnal, seeking shelter in damp places like leaf litter or under rocks to avoid predators and maintain their moisture levels. This behavior helps them thrive in their preferred habitats.

Is it normal for woodlice to come into the house?

Yes, it's normal for woodlice to enter houses, especially during damp or wet conditions. They are attracted to moisture and often seek shelter in dark, humid areas like basements, bathrooms, or under sinks. While they are harmless and can even help break down organic matter, their presence can indicate excess moisture in the home. Keeping areas dry and sealing entry points can help prevent them from coming inside.
