Scurrying when disturbed, sowbugs and pillbugs can’t survive for more than a few days without water. You won’t want dead pests infesting your home or business so leave sowbug and pillbug removal to the professionals at Terminix Canada.
Sowbugs and pillbugs are attracted to homes and yards by an abundance of mulch, leaves, and plant life. Feeding on organic material, these pests prefer moist environments. In short, a damp basement provides the perfect conditions for a sowbug or pillbug infestation.
