Pill and Sow Bug Control Las Vegas

Pill bugs and sow bugs are small, oval-shaped crustaceans commonly found in moist environments such as gardens, flower beds, and damp basements. While they play a role in breaking down organic matter outdoors, their presence indoors can be a nuisance. These nocturnal creatures feed on decaying plant material and can damage plants, especially ripening fruits and vegetables in direct contact with the soil.


Pill bugs, also known as "roly-polies," can roll into a tight ball when threatened, a behavior not exhibited by sow bugs. Both species thrive in humid environments and are commonly found under trash, rocks, boards, and decaying organic matter. Their presence indoors often indicates underlying moisture issues, as they require damp conditions to survive.


Addressing a pill bug or sow bug infestation requires specialized knowledge and tools to ensure complete eradication. At Townsend Pest Control, we have the experience and expertise to safely and effectively eliminate these pests from your property. Our team utilizes proven methods to detect and remove pill bugs and sow bugs, ensuring your home is protected from further infestations.


If you suspect a pill bug or sow bug infestation in your home or business, don't wait—contact Townsend Pest Control to schedule a consultation. Let us help you safeguard your property and maintain a pest-free environment.

Sow bugs

 Sow bugs measure 1/2 inch in length. They have a flattened, oval-shaped body. Their coloration can vary, ranging from gray to brown. Both species are primarily nocturnal and are most active during the night. They feed on live vegetation. 

 Pill bugs are 1/2 inch in length. They have a more rounded body compared to sow bugs. Their coloration is typically dark gray to black. Pill bugs can roll into a tight ball when threatened, hence their alternative name, “roly-polies.” In gardens, sow bugs and pill bugs target ripening fruits and vegetables, particularly those in direct contact with the soil.
