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.
