I've never had that many in the garden to worry about but this site has suggestions for what to do right away if plants are being eaten as well as organic stuff to sprinkle around to kill them:
https://growingspaces.com/organic-pe...the-roly-poly/ From what I saw Googling, pill bugs, sow bugs, and roly polls all can be taken care of using the same methods. Good luck! Last edited by kath; May 18, 2020 at 07:37 PM. |

Had the same problem a few weeks ago. They were eating all the leaves off my pole beans just as they sprouted. I was able to keep them at bay with Sluggo Plus long enough for the plants to get mature enough to not be attractive to the bugs any longer. I still see them everywhere, but they're leaving the plants alone now.
