  2. A mixture of red pepper, tobacco and salt - mix them in equal proportions and spray them on the floor of a damp room.
  3. Potatoes - cut potatoes into halves, make small holes in each of them, and leave these "traps" in places where you often see woodlice.
  4. Dry kvass - dissolve 100 g of dry kvass in 0.5 liters of water and treat the floor and walls.
  5. Alum - these minerals, often called "alum" by the people, can be taken 100 g per 1 liter of water and use the resulting solution to clean all infected surfaces.
