Does anyone know what will kill a Woodlice?

God only knows where they are coming from but an increasing amount appear to wish to stroll across my kitchen floor.

My hope is for info on something that could be sprayed around the edges of the kitchen floor to kill, or at least deter, these invaders.

Scots may know these as "slaters".

Found the following through google but it does not tell you how to kill them.

Common names for woodlice vary throughout the English-speaking world. A number of common names make reference to the fact that some species of woodlice can roll up into a ball. Other names compare the woodlouse to a pig.

Names include: "armadillo bug" [2], "cheeselog" (Reading, Berkshire) [3], "doodlebug" [4], "pill bug" (usually applied only to the genus Armadillidium) [2], "roly-poly" [5], "potato bug"[5], "roll up bug" [6], "slater" [7], "Carpenter", "Wood Bug","sow bug" and, commonly used by the Duffs in Plymouth (South Devon), "Mennaces". [4][5].

In north Devon and north Somerset, England, a woodlouse is traditionally referred by the quaint name "Chuggy-peg", "Chuggy-pig" or "Chuggypig". [8]

In Altona, Victoria, Australia. A woodlouse is referred to as a "Butchie Boy", or "Butcher Boy", or "Slater Bug".

I was speaking to my lady friend yesterday, and she was telling me how while waiting for me in town she witnessed a group of Chavs/hoodies/whatevers bullying and tormenting a man. She said the man was clearly a "simpleton" or in someway challenged as his efforts to put them off were rather pathetic and he couldn't get his words out. She felt horrified that people could act in this way. She suggested military service for these offenders, or compulsory military service for everyone anyway, saying it gives people a place in society, a sense of discipline etc etc.

What do you guys think? Should young offenders be sent to the armed forces? Should we all do military service?
