Home Pillbug Control

Pill bugs are between ¼-5/8 inches long and have seven pairs of legs and 2 pairs of antennae. Sometimes referred to as “rollie pollies” and spelled both ways (pill bugs and pillbugs), it’s the only crustacean that has become completely adapted to spending its life on land. This pest earned its nickname because the pill bug can roll up into a tight ball when disturbed. Pill bugs, or rollie pollies, are usually slate gray in color. Their bodies are oval shaped and become round when they roll up. They are easily recognized by their back, which is made up of seven hard individual plates.
