Where do woodlice usually live?
Woodlice like damp, dark places and can be found hiding in walls, under stones and in compost heaps. Some species such as the common sea slater are only found on the coast.
Do woodlice smell?
Woodlice make a distinctive bad smell by excreting ammonia through their exoskeleton. As a result, many local names for woodlice liken them to pigs, such as 'chiggy pig' (Devon), 'gramersow' (Cornwall), 'sow bug' and 'woodpig'. You can test this by keeping woodlice in a jar for a short time and sniffing the air inside.
