Important Considerations:
Where to Find Them on Your Property?
You may find Sowbugs in areas such as underneath trash, boards, rocks, flower pots, piles of grass, mulch, and other types of decaying vegetation. Sowbugs can sometimes enter buildings through door thresholds, especially doors with homes on the ground level. They likely won’t survive in homes for more than a couple days due to the lack of moisture. Indoor invaders usually mean that there is a large population right outside of your building.
