Didn't work on the West Pier. Them bilge-bugs (bigger marine wood lice) are still there!

They're called "gramazels" in Cornwall. Taste the same though.

Were you a Grammersow ?

"Mating occurs at night, and is therefore hard to see. The male climbs onto a receptive female, licks her head and drums on her back with his legs for about five minutes. He then shifts to a diagonal position on the females back and passes sperm to her left side genital opening from his right hand stylets. He then changes his position to the opposite diagonal and deposits sperm in her right hand genital opening from his left hand stylet. Sperm transfer takes about 5 minutes for each side.:clap2:

Sussex, by the sea
we have frogs, toads and the odd newt in our Garden so that would explain the lack of woodlice.

our frogs are still quite small ( this years model) so they struggle to get through a whole slug on their own.

Anyone got any ideas (sensible) of how i can deal with the woodlice in my bathroom?

Brand new bathroom fitted inc new extractor fan. All of a sudden i keep getting woodlice dropping out of the celing extractor vent that is over the bath. The venting goes up into the loft and out via an outside wall. Have tried some insecticide spray but this seem to only work for a couple days. There's no evidence of excessive dampness and the ducting tube is intact all the way to the outside wall.

Any ideas as the missus is refusing to have a bath and will only shower as she is in fear of a divebombing woodlouse landing on her head or worse!:p



do not use insecticide. many of the lice will still get through coated in harsh chemicals which could then drop into your nice clean bath and potentially poison you and your wife.

the outlet of the extractor looks like the problem. you may need to get one of those covers with slatted vents which open and close. the only problem is, you would have to get the ladder out each time you have a bath to open it which would be a bummer, although closing it would be more of a bummer because you will be nice and clean and warm from having just taken a bath.

If you want to talk filthy at least do it on NSP. It's the likes of you that bring this board into disrepute.

Some of the breeders now are using "substances" now to get them to run faster for the Oaks.
