Woodlice (Roly-Poly and Pill bug)

they live up-to 1 day

if you will kill the woodlice it will die......................

yes exterminators you fool

Woodlice Breathe Through Gills Located On There Back

They prefer damp conditions, Because woodlice need to breath through the moisture, they also have gills so they need to be in damp places like under rocks , logs & leaves's also need to be in dark conditions

Use insecticide in gas form and throw or apply it at the entrance to the house. Or dip a cloth in neem-tree oil and put it at the entrance.

If you have houseplants, you should check to see that you don't have a colony of roly polys in there.

Diamaceous earth at the openings to your home may also help.

Yes, you can, but you must keep an eye on them,they are VERY clever. Keep them in a small,transparent box and keep it out of direct sunlight.Of course,feed them wood.

1-2cm long

Yes, woodlice are terrestrial isopods (crustaceans). Other crustaceans include crabs, lobsters, and shrimp - marine organisms. Woodlice are crustaceans even though they are not marine organisms because they share the common feature of a chitinous exoskeleton. The exoskeleton is what is used for structure, protection, and support, so they do not need a spinal column.

Woodlice tend to thrive in dark, damp conditions. Therefore, high humidity and dark conditions are the best places for them to grow. Light-filled, dry conditions are not woodlice-friendly, and therefore the best conditions to keep, if one is trying to avoid the infestation of woodlice.

yes, but they can't breathe in water. they're related to crabs and lobsters.

A pill bug is an isopod with 7 legs on each side so 14 together

you need to put it in a glass or plastic tub and get some grease profe paper and put holes in it and then put a rubber band over the top to stop the woodlouse getting out! You need fresh damp soil to put in the tub, they like dried up old leaves and fruit and grass..... They would like it if you put a flat rock in it so they can hide under it. They need to be in a dark moist place like a cellar or a dark cupped

Pill bugs nickname is Roly Poly because they roll up into a ball to protect themselves.

Woodlice, also known as woodlouse, has over a thousand different species. Due to this the temperature of a habitat it would take to affect it varies.

Woodchucks, or groundhogs, are primarily diurnal.

Woodlice and fungi have very little in common, beyond both being living organisms. Woodlice are part of the Animal Kingdom while fungi make up the Fungal Kingdom.

Woodlice have innate behavior, meaning its unintelligent behavior. They run around until they happen to find dark/damp places that suit them, it's called kinesis. It helps them survive by getting out of conditions where they can easily be at risk from predators. this is a purely physiological response- they don't actively seek damp, dark places.

I only know that woodlice dislike sunlight and they most probably will be hiding under a log or stone in your garden

Woodlice produce eggs in spring and these are retained inside the female’s body until they hatch. The newly hatched woodlice, known as mancas, are kept in a brood pouch on the underside of the female for a few days before they disperse.

Immature woodlice (known as mancas) are similar in appearance to the adults and they shed their outer shells on a number of occasions as they grow bigger. They become adults by late summer and overwinter before reproducing in their second year.

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.

i believe that you would only need two sow bugs-a female and a male. It is very difficult to tell the gender apart. Sometimes you can already find a pregnant sow bug or rolly polly. Pregnant ones are usually big. If you flip then over and look on their stomach you will be able to see a white or yellow enlarged sack. That is where the eggs are at. After two months they will emerge into white babies. They are very small and hard to handle. Good luck!!

Stu smith and danielle roberts say no. They feel you coming by the vibrations you creare. Go figure!

Wonderful wording - reminiscent of Lynne Truss!

They survive in damp, slightly cool shelters, so need to crawl under stones etc. Their food is damp, decaying wood or woody plant material, so they are associated with bark etc.
