i have a mold problem in one of my 10 gallon tarantula tanks and i have been able to catch a few isopods under rocks in my backyard and so far they have done their job cleaning up, but i need more. Whats a simple way of collecting them? i was thinking of leaving some rotting wood in one of my garden beds.

Old wood works. A piece of old carpeting or an old rug left outside will work good. They reproduce well, so you will have many before you know it - just keep the substrate moist.

You'll probably see babies, I've seen population growth in relatively short span with little white barely visible isopods crawling around. Watch when you water the garden beds, after showers, and look in obvious places in cool moist soils underneath objects too.
