How To Get Rid Of Pill Bugs: Roly Poly Bug Facts & Control | Orkin

What You Can Do

The first step in preventing pill bugs is reducing the moisture around the home. Here are some tips to reducing moisture inside and around your home:

  • Mulch: Mulch in flowerbeds should be no deeper then 2 in. Homeowners should pull mulch away from the home’s foundation. A “dry zone” of 6 to 12 inches around the foundation will discourage pill bugs and other pests.

  • Wood: Stack firewood off the ground. It should be as far away from the house as possible.

  • Plants: Flowerpots should be on racks or stands off the ground.

  • Gutters: Gutters and downspouts should drain away from the foundation.

  • Trees: It may be necessary to trim tree limbs if they cause a damp shady area near the home.

  • Ventilation: Crawlspace vents should be unblocked to allow air circulation. This can reduce dampness. Very damp basements may require a dehumidifier.
