Crawling insect powder, and slug pellets I say slug pellets because it might be slugs doing the initial damage letting the woodlice into the fruit.
Unless of course your Organic ?

This happened to me this year, I couldn't believe it, thought it might be birds or slugs starting it off but I netted and pelleted... grrr, thing is you would pick a strawb and the hole would be full of the little *. would use powder next year.. sod the organics I want my strawberries!!!
