I had a real problem with roly poly bugs. They were committing suicide in my garden pond by the hundreds each day and I am not kidding. Did some research and found out about diatomacheous earth. Got some at a local nursery and sprinkled it around everywhere ... I came to the internet to see how to get rid of these demons.

A. Although the names sow bug, pill bug and roly-poly are often used interchangeably, we are actually talking about two specific non-insects ... When I get emails about them, I write back to explain that they mostly live on decayed plant material and to ask if the writer is SURE that they’re the ones doing the damage.

Sowbugs and pillbugs range in size from 1/4 to 1/2 inch long and are dark to slate gray. ... Sowbugs also have two tail-like appendages which project out from the rear end of the body. Pillbugs have no posterior appendages and can roll up into a tight ball when disturbed, for which they are sometimes called "roly-polies".
