If you’ve done all this and they’re still showing up in droves, you might have a hidden moisture problem like a leak inside a wall. In that case, call a pest control pro—they have tools and ideas that go beyond my “sweep and hope” method.

A Final Warm Thought
Next time you see one, smile and remember: they’re not judging your laundry pile. They’re just looking for a drink of water. You’ve got this. With a dry towel, a tube of caulk, and a sense of humor, your home can be wood-louse-free in no time—and you’ll have a drier, happier space to boot.
