Are pill bugs bad for your lawn and/or garden?

1 Answer

Answer :

I always thought the opposite. They break leaves, lawn clippings, and such down to new, healthy, soil. So having a ton of them actually helps out your soil. I’ve never seen them eating live, healthy plants. Besides, they’re about the least creepy bug around. I wish they ate mosquitos or spiders, I’d start a pill bug farm ;)
