Ever flip over a flower pot and instantly regret it? If dozens of pill bugs come pouring out, your yard may be rolling out the welcome mat for them. These moisture-loving pests thrive in damp mulch, overwatered landscaping, and piles of decaying leaves.
While pill bugs aren't dangerous, large populations can damage seedlings, feed on tender plants, and quickly turn from a curiosity into a nuisance. The best defense is reducing the moisture they're after. Check for overwatering, improve drainage, clear away debris, and keep mulch from building up against your home.
And if the roly-polies seem to be multiplying faster than you can count them, Valley Wide Pest Control can help you get to the root of the problem.
