Our natural-first approach to pillbugs/sowbugs in the White Mountains

Moisture reduction eliminates their habitat. We apply diatomaceous earth in damp areas and create dry perimeter zones. Botanical barriers deter entry from outdoor harborage. We identify conditions common to mountain vacation homes and customize every treatment to your property's specific needs.

Pillbugs/Sowbugs questions from White Mountains 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.

Pillbugs don't damage structures. They're decomposers that eat decaying organic matter. Their presence indicates moisture conditions that should be addressed for other reasons.
