pill bugs Roly Polys saw bugs would lace
potato bugs we're all familiar with
those cute little bugs that ball up like
an armadillo when threatened but they're
not so cute when they get in your garden
and eat all the plants and vegetables
you've worked so hard to grow in fact
they're not even classified as bugs but
as crustaceans like lobster crab and
shrimp now a little bowl of hot melted
butter or cocktail sauce probably won't
do much to keep pill bugs out of your
garden but surprisingly a cold bottle of
beer just might do the trick before
having to worry about getting pill bugs
out of your garden it's a lot easier to
keep them from getting in to begin with
pill bugs are omnivores or scavengers
they feed on dead or decaying plants or
animals as well as live fruits
vegetables and plants they live in moist
shady places somebody get a habit to
clean leaf litter out of your garden all
right well you've tried to keep them out
but now they're in the garden how do you
get rid of them well you really only
need two things first is a bottle of
beer and no it doesn't really have to be
cold but it does have to be beer other
fluids beverages well they just won't
work next a couple empty tuna cans or
cat food cans the little shadow cans not
a big suit can make sure they're washed
out
okay now determine which areas of your
garden have a pill bug problem in those
areas make a little hole in the soil
about the same size as the empty tuna
can place an empty tuna can in the hole
so that the top of the can is even with
the soil level kind of like a little
in-ground pill bug pool
okay now that you've got all of your
cans placed in the ground go ahead and
pour beer into each one until it's
filled almost to the top and that's it
over the next few days pill bugs that
are in that area of the garden will be
drawn through the beer fall in the can
and drown and this is what you'll see
good for you not so much for the pill
bugs just empty the cans out regularly
and refill with fresh beer repeat as
needed hey thanks so much for your time
