Pill Bugs prefer moist and warm environments. They are often found in lawn turf, under leaves or other moist areas of decaying vegetable matter. Extremes of wet, dry or hot weather drive them inside (basements, garages, lower floor levels), and while they do no damage to humans directly, they can be an annoyance. However, if you have a greenhouse or indoor plants, these creatures, especially in high numbers, can do some damage.

Where The Roly-Polie Nickname Came From
Pill Bugs roll into a ball or “pill” when they are disturbed,
hence the childish nickname of “Roly-Polie.”
Keeping Roly-Polies Away
1. Seal cracks and openings on and near window sills, entryways, door sills, etc.
2. Limit moisture and humidity inside your home.
3. If you find these pests on your plants, simply remove the plant from its current potting location, scrape off all the soil and replant in fresh, new soil away from its previous location.
