Behavior
Commonly known as roly-polies, pillbugs are usually nocturnal and feed on
decaying vegetable matter. Where large numbers occur outside a foundation,
numerous pillbugs may find their way inside where they quickly die from
dehydration. They can, however, survive nicely in damp basements, cellars
and crawl spaces. They have been found living within homes where a constant
moisture source is available due to a water leak.
Habitat
Pillbugs prefer moist environments and are found under objects lying on the
damp ground and within leaf litter, mulch, and other types of vegetative
debris.
