Beetles indoors

[sparklesandsparkles]

Hi

What type of beetle is this and why do I have so many in my house?😮‍💨

This and slugs!!! Please help! What shall I do to stop these creatures??

We do have patio doors to outside in the living room..

Looks like a woodlouse to me. When I moved in to my house we had quite a few, I became a bit obsessed with them. The house had been empty and cold for about a year by the time we moved in so once the house warmed up they stopped.
is your house a bit damp and cold? Have you got any wood that’s rotting, from a leak perhaps? They like those conditions.

You're right - it's a woodlouse! Yes it's mainly near the patio doors where it's cold. Will have to look into replacing the doors😶

Get some diamataceous earth and sprinkle it around the edges of the room and where you think they are coming in.

Do not panic, they are normal in any older property, I see them every day annoying but they do no damage.
