I have a wood lice problem I notice it whenever it rains, they seem to come from underneath the floorboards in the kitchen, I am at the ground floor flat and I am guessing that there is some rotten timber down there, what can I use to dry the area and get rid of these irritants?

You're right, they're usually a sign of damp so you could say they're helpfully warning you that you have a problem, hopefully not at the rot stage yet (they just like damp). I'm afraid it means looking for the source of the damp, probably by lifting part of the floor & poking around underneath.
I get quite a few in my lounge - on a solid carpeted floor. Not sure what they find attractive about that! If I find live ones, I pick them up and dump them outside - but as often as not, they walk part-way round the the skirting board and *die* - so it's a vacuum cleaner job.
You don't have a cat do you? Mine brings them in.
Nope!
Your cat brings in wood lice? How? Mine prefers rats, squirrels and pigeons. But he's fighting a losing battle.
Old cat with dodgy DPC?
Ours used to have a thing for slugs - it was as though it went around rolling over them to collect a few, then come in the house, roll around some more depositing as many as it could.
