Now I might be wrong but I seem to remember Hugh Furry Whatshisname cooking them as an experiment.  Apparently they are related to shrimps.  Now I may have got that wrong, forgive me I'm old.  But it does seem a fitting revenge.

I am a little surprised to hear of woodlice attacking and damaging plants. Is it possible that they are flat millipedes which sometimes wipe out whole fields of young seedlings?

woodchip paths are adored by woodlice     If you rake them a bit and expose them the birds might eat them

I have them in my compo bins but they're eating the rotting vegetation so they're fine

They are defo woodlice and not milipedes, no mistaking them there!

I just found this link for anyone thats interested, which says there are 2 kinds of woodlice - those that compost and those that eat plant tissue..

I'm gonna have a go with the Diatomaceous Earth, and maybe trapping them and putting the in the bird feeder. I think the bids are put off by coming into the main garden by the cats and dogs.. if they taste as good as reputed it'll be a great treat for them, but i have to say i'm not at all interested myself! :pukel:

There is a millipede that does look very much like a woodlice.
Although they are supposed to be black in colour i have seen them looking more like a grey woodlice.
When you touch them they roll into a perfect little ball.
They are called the "pill milipede"
