I made a massive mistake!!!! I spread wood chips all around my 1 acre garden. The pill bugs attacked everything and it was apocalyptic. I used the slug bait at first and it reduced the pill bugs right away. Now I just use the diatomaceous earth every few weeks and it is working great.
I appreciate their work in my compost bin as decomposers, but they are tough on plants; glad to see some organic control solutions and ways to deny them habitat in the first place.
I love the composting they do but they burned through our strawberries, columbine, eggplant, cucumbers, cantaloupe, watermelon. Ate the roots and then the it was gone the next day. Beer trap time, diatomaceous when it stops raining, and hiding spaces from cardboard to be thrown out after congregation. They are ravenous.
It is possible that they are coming from a house plant. Plants purchased from nurseries can come with pests. These methods should still work on a small scale inside. Best of luck!
@@GrowingSpacesGreenhouses no house plants. I find clumps of dead ones so they’re definitely dying . But how to stop them coming in the first place. I saw on another video they are looking for moisture. Would setting up a dehumidifier in the basement ( sow bug graveyard) help or hurt? Either the ground around my house is too moist or too dry (not sure which one) because I never used to have as many as I do now.

But when you water the plants, it kinda wash away right ??

worms are the better composters and they won't go after your plants

Ty - that was really great info
Very helpful information, Thank You!
Moat informative video on pill bugs! Thank you!
Do you can squish it or it is not a good Deal ?
Soo why do the pill bugs dig holes and burrow right next to the stem/roots of my pumpkins?
Can you mention the items and their links so I could buy

What if these are in my home ? They multiply like crazy but I can’t figure out where exactly they coming from

Plant collars, traps, DE.
How do you kill Asian jumping worms infesting my 1/2 acre perianal garden
Catfood can. Dump out food for your critters, don't clean can, set in garden. The little bastards will get in but can't get out.
Temptation with beer and waste vegetables
Please try my trap
Beer is good. Another great one is oil with soy sauce!
Never thought to try that. We will have to give it a go, haha.
@@GrowingSpacesGreenhouses you will love it!! One of my favorites 😍
Why kill them? They are a plus for your garden. Protect your seedlings
Actually, in large numbers, they are destructive and will feed on tender roots, leaves, and vegetables. Especially your vulnerable little seedlings.
Volume way too loud
you don't have a volume button? LOL

That was trash info almost all youtubers here make keeping roly polies as pets
Did you read the accompanying article? Heather is a horticulture expert and has been keeping our 6 Growing Domes pest-free for several years.
@@GrowingSpacesGreenhouses I didn't ask
Not everyone wants them as pets especially if you want FOOD!! DUH
No need to be rude!
