Pill Bug Control
They creep, they crawl, they multiply.
Pill bugs, also known as roly-polies, are common in damp, decaying environments. While they mostly feed on rotting leaves and organic matter, large numbers can start damaging young plants, roots, and tender seedlings. They thrive in mulch beds, gardens, and under rocks, but when conditions are right, they can also wander indoors.
Did you know?
Pill bugs aren’t insects—they’re actually crustaceans, more closely related to shrimp and crabs than other garden pests.
Why pill bugs invade
Pill bugs need moisture to survive, so they’re drawn to mulch, compost, and damp soil. When populations grow too large outdoors, they may start feeding on seedlings and soft fruits or even enter homes searching for better conditions.
