    That is a tough one actually as they are resistant to most chemicals and insecticides (I am fairly sure that they are not technically speaking insects).

    They like damp areas so maybe you could try using a dehumidifier to dry out your house. Either that or clear away any damp plant matter such as compost heaps, old leaves etc. that may be near your house. Also, if I remeber correctly they prefer sick or dead plants over healthy ones.

    If the plant can resist the cold, putting it in a cold area might help. It is said that the lice die from the cold. (I mean really cold, freezing)

    Another option might be putting some of that really soft greenish soap (don't know what it is called or if you have it in your country) in water and spray it on the plant. The woodlice should die. It might also work with other soap.

    Note: Using both or either of these methods is at own risk. They may work better for some plants than they do with others. Silverblade is not responseble for death or injury to your plants, as a cause of the suggested methods.
