I don't think woodlice eat plants - only dead wood and the like. There are loads under my pots and planters and I haven't had anything eaten yet - it's more likely to be the usual garden pests.

No not woodlice, they only eat dead matter

Woodlice like the same conditions as snails and slugs, so if you have lots of woodlice, you're likely to have at least some slugs. A woodlouse wouldn't eat a petunia until after it was dead and rotting.
