Pill Bugs!
Seems to be two opposing thoughts about these little critters. Some claim they’re as beneficial as earth worms and of no danger to your plants. Others claim they’ll eat your seedlings before they have a chance to thrive, and even go after your maturing leafy plants.
While preparing a 4’x15’ section to plant yardlong beans, sweet pepper, and onions, I find my rich, moist earth is infested . . . and I do mean infested . . . with them.
I’m headed this morning to Home Depot to buy Slugo Plus to deal with them and similiar predatory critters. But I do wonder if any of you have thoughts you might share?
I have Pill Bugs all through my compost pile. They are supposed to eat dead and decaying plant material. But I also think they do damage to my young plants.
My bottle of sluggo says it handles pill bugs too.
