I just move in a rental property and found this bug. Can you tell what it is - I have already seen 4, some dead, some crawling around?? Do you know how to kill them ?

Thanks a lot

That looks like a woodlouse, it's common and harmless. May indicate that your home has some damp issues though.

I'd say a woodlouse too.

thank you so much. do you know how to get rid of them - wonder if it will make my allergic son worst...

Thank you both!

I can't imagine it would make your son's allergies worse but it may be a sign that you have damp in the house and any damp and mould could well make him worse.

Keeping your home warm and dry is the best way to get rid of them. If your home has been empty for a while it may explain why you've found some.
