Abstract:

(En)
Slaters (Porcellionidae) are also known as woodlice, sowbugs and pill bugs. Species of slaters found commonly in Western Australian gardens are introduced from other parts of the world. They help the breakdown of organic material and can be beneficial to the garden at low population densities. At high densities, they can damage new seedlings and ripe fruit. This Garden note discusses control of slaters by cultural control and chemical control.
