What are these "woodbugs" doing that you want to kill them off?
The simple presence of an insect does not mean they must be killed because many of the insect species help keep us from being buried in our waste, the digest and recycle that waste for us. Are what you call "woodbugs" the same thing as Pill Bugs, Sow Bugs, Wood Lice, Potato Bugs, or 1,000 other names? |

| These "woodbugs" are eating all my plants, my berries and crawling up my house, in my house, on my fence...they are everywhere. You can't sit outside without them crawling around you. I don't appreciate your sarcasm when I am trying to improve my garden. Thank you very much ! |

Sorry you read sarcasm into my attemtp to understand the why. First we need to identify what you have, then we need to determine why they are there, then we can do what is necesary to control them if that is necessary.
Most often simply changing the environment around you a bit will solve the problem. |

| So what do the "woodbugs" look like? Color-wings or not--many legs or six--how large? No one has a clue what a "woodbug" is --not a common name for anything I am familiar with |

| I'm wondering if this person doesn't mean "Stink Bugs"? Not much you can do about those yet. |
