Woodlice eat my subwoofer!!

[Deleted User] · 26/06/05 - 13:50

Hi
I have had Logitech x-220 2.1 speakers for almost a year and a few months ago i noticed some woodlice going in and out of my subwoofer (wood) at the bottom. Only a couple but how many could be inside :mad: . Anyways i just checked and they're still eating my subwoofer lol.

If they got into anything electric they'll blow them :eek:
My room is very tidy.Damn wood-lice!

They work fine but could the woodlice cause any damage...

take the subwoofer outside and tip them out!

Then stop them from going in and out of the subwoofer.

Do you live in a tent?

afaik woodlice tend to like damp and dark conditions.
They do good by eating rotten wood - so perhaps they are either just hidingfrom the light or have created a Mosh Pit in there!

I would suggest buying a tin of woodlice spay or powder, spay around the outside of the speaker and inside, I had woodlice once they tried to eat my wood flooring after one application they were history.

They lay eggs in the wood and it’s the babies that eat the wood, the spray will kill the eggs.

lol
i've tipped them out before

Anyways the wood seems fine...im just worried about them inside but i don't think there would be very many because as i say i keep my room quite tidy...

cant say i live in a tent

haha

Anyways i have it loud quite a lot... Anyways at least its working fine. I suppose i could try a bit of spray

Anyways there is plenty of other wooden things i have...eat them

but not my speakers.

Its not really a worry though unless they do any damage...
But that would only be a small chance as i've had them a year but then again i seen this picture of an Xbox inside and it had blown up because a little bug thing (spider or something) was on top of the components :eek:

Woodlice are attracted to low bass frequencies and this is a more common problem than is often realised. If you look very closely they are in fact tapping all their little feet in time with the music. Wood Beetles on the other hand are attracted to high-pitched sounds and tend to gather around tweeters.
I suggest you make your speakers ticket only admission. You may need some kind of security around the reflex ports. I believe spiders are quite effective.

LOL - very funny ! ! !

they are getting in the bottom where the front panel type thing meets the wood...i doubt they would go in the hole at the front because if i played music it blasts air through it...and they'd come back out

How about smearing something like paraffin wax round the seal?

Bug-gers for destroying expensive equipment. You could probably get away with blocking the vents on a sub to prevent it - and block the hole with a nicely painted-to-match styrofoam coffee cup. Drink the coffee first, and remember to remove it when watching a movie or everyone'll sound like Rambo.
