Pill bugs in the Garden? - Page 2

Master Shake · December 13, 2020

Hi peoples,

I put down brown paper alongside my rows and then covered the paper with compost to help control the weeds but it seems to have cause a major increase in the amount of pill bugs and they are ruining my brussels sprouts and beans and starting to do damage to my tomatoes and peppers....

Has anyone tried the beer cup method?

I have been throwing out snail pellets and they seem to help as there are thousands of dried up bugs everywhere but it's not getting all of them....

Something is making a mess of my sunflowers too, eating all of the leaves and something is biting a lartge notch in basically every single sunflower bloom.... beyond annoying, making every one useless to take a picture of or bring inside.

I don't really drink beer but if it works i will buy some to leave around the garden.

Thanks.
