FAQs
How can I tell if I have a pill or sow bug problem?
You may see small, round bugs that roll into a ball (pill bugs) or flat, armored bugs (sow bugs) near baseboards, entry points, or damp storage areas.
Do pill and sow bugs bite or damage property?
No, these pests are not aggressive and don’t damage wood or fabrics. However, large populations indicate excessive moisture and can become a recurring annoyance.
Is the treatment process different from other bugs like ants or roaches?
Yes. Sow and pill bug control focuses more on exterior zones and moisture management, unlike ant or roach treatments that may target food sources or interior nesting sites.
What attracts these pests to my home?
They’re commonly drawn to mulch, leaf litter, overwatering, or cluttered foundations that retain moisture, creating shelter close to the home.
How long does each service visit take?
Each service typically takes around 30 minutes from inspection to treatment, depending on property size and severity of activity.
