Hello! I just found some small bugs which look like woodlice on my snake plant - what should I do to handle these? They look to be damaging the plant but I may be wrong? I’ve added a few images so let me know if it’s due to these bugs please! Thanks for any help!
Use need oil! I also made a 4:1 spray. This consists of water, white vinegar, rubbing alcohol, and dawn dish soap. It kills all bugs immediately. The need oil will eradicate any stage of bug life. Repeat this process every two weeks

Woodlice are generally beneficial as they help recycle decomposing matter. However, large numbers of may indicate a moisture problem. Woodlice may also enter homes to escape cold weather. While they are not considered harmful pests because they usually leave living plants and humans alone, if there is a lack of food sources, woodlice may turn to the house plants. You can try spraying the soil and leaves with a mixture of one tablespoon of Castile soap per quart of water, or repot with fresh soil.
