Pillbugs/Sowbugs questions from Lamoille Valley residents
Pillbugs are harmless decomposers that don't bite or damage structures. Indoors, they indicate moisture problems. They can damage seedlings in gardens when populations are high.
Pillbugs require constant moisture to survive. Damp basements and crawl spaces meet their needs. Reducing humidity below 60% eliminates their habitat.
We address moisture conditions, apply diatomaceous earth barriers, and modify habitat near foundations. These crustaceans can't survive in dry conditions.
