Pill Bug Control

Pill bugs: harmless outside, a nuisance inside.

Green Gator pill bug treatment in Utah

Pill bugs, the "roly-polies" that roll into a ball when you touch them, aren't insects at all; they're land crustaceans that breathe through gills and need constant moisture. They live in mulch, under stones, and in damp garden soil, recycling decaying plant matter.

Outdoors they're harmless and even helpful. The trouble starts when over-watered beds against the house push them inside, where they collect in garages, basements, and ground-floor rooms. Control is all about the moisture line around your foundation.

Know the Signs

Pill bug signs & hot spots

Pill bugs can't survive long without moisture. Find the damp zones and you've found the population.

Damp Mulch & Soil

Moist mulch, compost, and dense beds against the foundation are where pill bugs thrive.

Under Objects

Lift a pot, board, or stone and you'll find them clustered in the cool damp underneath.

Garage & Basement Edges

They wander in through ground-level gaps and gather along walls where it's coolest and dampest.

Tight Coils

A bug that rolls into a perfect ball is a pill bug, its closest look-alike, the sow bug, can't.

Our Approach

How we get rid of pill bugs.

We treat the foundation edge, mulch beds, and damp harborage where pill bugs gather, and set a perimeter barrier so they don't cross into the garage and basement. Because they're moisture-driven, we'll flag the irrigation and bed conditions feeding them. It's eco-friendly, family- and pet-safe, and built into the same thorough exterior service that protects the rest of your home.

Frequently Asked Questions

Pill bug control questions, answered.

Is the treatment safe for kids and pets?

Absolutely. Every product we use is eco-friendly and chosen specifically for family and pet safety. We apply it in targeted areas, and your kids and pets can return once it has dried, usually within 30-60 minutes.

What's the difference between pill bugs and sow bugs?

They look nearly identical and live in the same damp spots, but pill bugs roll into a tight ball when disturbed and sow bugs can't. Both are moisture-loving crustaceans, both are harmless, and both are treated the same way, by drying out and treating the harborage around your foundation. So if you're not sure which you have, the solution is the same.

What areas do you service?

We serve the entire Wasatch Front from Ogden to Spanish Fork, plus mountain communities including Park City and Heber City. If you're unsure whether we cover your area, just give us a call, chances are we do.
