Pillbugs/Sowbugs questions from Northeast Kingdom 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.

We address moisture conditions, apply diatomaceous earth barriers, and modify habitat near foundations. These crustaceans can't survive in dry conditions.
