My compost bin is infested with slaters (woodlice). Any suggestions would be welcome. I'm not sure about insect spray as I don't want to spoil the compost?

According to this website

if you have wood lice and slaters, that means the moisture content in your compost is just right, and they are part of the procedure of composting vegetable matter.
Thanks! That gives far more comprehensive information than I got from our council along with my bin.
COMPOSTING 101 - these critters are an indicator that your compost is doing excatly what it's supposed to do - "decompose material".
