Yes I now have the paper and the strips you use. I think they have depleted quite a bit, like you said they are annoying little things

Re: woodlice
Thanks Nina,
I will have to have a think. My main concerns are keeping the girls healthy. So perhaps that should be part of the solution and do it when needing to add water anyway. Rather than a full solution ?

Re: woodlice
Well the gnats are still around. However i went into a decent pet shop today who keep tortoise. They said the best and easiest way is when you give your tortoises a bath. Pour boiling hot water over some of the soil. do a different bit each time. it kills the eggs !!!

Re: woodlice
I done my last hoover up then topped up with top soil added about 20 wood lice to their 5 star accommodation. Shelly and Skippy so far leave them alone. The lice home is under the top floor. Will update shortly

Re: woodlice
Hi Nina, from what i have seen as long as you provide a good environment for them they wont wonder out the table. Also there is harmless treatment called Mosquito Bits. Its a naturally occurring bacterium that acts as a species-specific larvicide. The yellow cards then get rid of the adults. ?

woodlice
Hi All,
What are peoples views on adding woodlice to a tortoise table. People say its good and helps keep the substrate clean. They also eat fungus gnat eggs. Are there any downsides with them?
Also what about Nematodes?
