Are pill bugs bad for lawn?

Like mealybugs, bed bugs are more related to shrimp than to real bugs. These crustaceans that inhabit the soil tend to feed on decaying organic matter and flourish during humid years. As the number of lice increases, so does the damage to seedlings, small plants and ground fruits. They break leaves, grass clippings and stuff like that into new, healthy soil.

So having a bunch of them actually helps your floor. I've never seen them eat live, healthy plants. Pill bugs, or roly-poly bugs, are found in gardens across the country. They get their nickname “roly-poly” because of the ball shape they take when disturbed.

They are useful because they break down organic matter in rich soil, but in large quantities, they are destructive and feed on roots, leaves and tender vegetables. Tablet bugs, sometimes referred to as pill bugs, are not really insects, they are terrestrial crustaceans that thrive in humid and humid environments. They like to hide under moist mulch, well-watered pots that lie on the ground and rocks. Sometimes they enter a house and survive if conditions are humid.

If you have an infestation and need to know how to get rid of pill bugs, here's how to know when it's time to call an exterminator. Pill bugs (armadillidium vulgare) or roly poly bugs are oval-shaped hard-shell crustaceans and natural decomposers. They exist everywhere and are part of the group of creatures that break down dead organic matter in the soil. But since they are hard-shelled terrestrial crustaceans, they rely on moisture to survive.

A pest control professional will take appropriate steps to control pills insects in the garden or at home.
