I have a huge problem with Pill bug in my vegetable garden here in TX.
I have tried everything , from DE to Phyretum. They dye for a while but they are still coming back
In the spring the ate all my fresh transplants.
I have read that pill bugs go after decay stuff and they like moisture ...
Well I cannot stop watering ... or water less on 90 degrees weather.
Any suggestion on how to get read

PILL BUG, SOW BUG, ROLLY POLLY control
Yep, I remember every year we lived in Dallas the roly poly invasion would happen in our house. I just called the exterminator and had them spray inside the house.
I wasn't into gardening so the outside wasn't a problem for me.
You might try an application of organic diatomaceous earth. Also, contact your county Cooperative Extension Service office (see http://dallas-tx.tamu.edu/) to see if they can offer any other suggestions.
Thanks, my pill bugs must really like DE. I have tried so many times !!
