Going to try this next. A solution of crushed garlic and water sprayed on and around roll up bugs deters them. Make a homemade pill bug spray by combining one tablespoon of crushed garlic with a quart of water. Spray the solution on the pests and in areas where you see them. Garlic spray works well to get rid of pill bugs organically.

I'm thankful for the birds and lizards on my property, they help keep my garden pest free

I call 'em Rolie Polies here in NC USA :) Sadly, my chickens won't touch them. I've tried all those methods and they work but are high maintenance or expense so I lay boards around in the garden. I had a bunch of 4" wide panel boards from a house renovation and they fit perfectly between rows of vegetables. The moisture underneath attracts all the above PLUS slugs! I have a bucket of water, lift the board and scrape the bottom of it into the bucket. I haven't tried them in the cruciferous bed yet but will this year in hopes of trapping the cabbage loopers :)

I found if I plant catnip out away from my cabbages etc the cabbage looper butter fly/moths are attracted to it and will lay their eggs there, I put a water dish by it for them and they leave my cabbage alone, if some do wonder into my braccia I pick them by hand and either squish their heads or drop them in a bucket of soapy water

Does this work for pincher bugs too, do you know?

Putting dried leaves on my garden last fall is what got me into this mess! They loves eating them then multiplied and are eating my vegetables and had eaten all my small seeds I direct sowed. Had to grow them in pots first now my vegetables are getting eaten as soon as they ripen and some before that

I have a huge infestation this year and while I haven't found a successful way to get rid of them I found that putting collars around my seedlings is the best thing I can do. It keeps them away from the plant so it can grow.

A trap of 1 tsp borax soap, 3 tsp sugar dissolved in warm water and placed level with the soil can catch a lot of them as well

I like your smart handling method

I teach gardening at a private high school and every year my seedlings get ravaged by pill bugs in our growing dome. The only method I’ve found that works is adding in organic material to the soil. I’ve seen a method of burying small cups of beer into the soil, which I’m hesitant to try because of curious teenagers. Diatomaceous earth does not work for me because the dome has an average 80% humidity level so it’s never really dry. I’ve set up traps by cutting plastic cups and placing duct tape (sticky side up) under them so when they go to shelter under the cup they stick to the tape, but even that doesn’t work great. I’ll definitely try the fruit method though. It’s a never ending battle for me.

@@WineberryHill Good to see the new stuff is non-toxic. The Neem brand you link to here in the description box, however, has toxic ingredients in the "inert ingredients", thus the requirement to register with the EPA and have an EPA registration number. Try to find and organic one that is cold pressed.

Just like fruit place a cup of beer at ground level and find them in the morning. Also put an old carton and they will look for the moisture at night then you catch them in the morning.

Orange slice method, but use a shopvac on the slice as well as the soil beneath.

I am running my own experiment in my greenhouse to control Slaters (NZ term) using sheep's wool as mulch (we have sheep so its a free resource). I soaked the wool then covered the raised garden in a thin layer. The Slaters disappeared quickly, this am I don't see any around the plants. Will keep you posted on the result. I also use sheep's wool around my fruit trees.

Are all these methods safe for inside the house?

For using the DE and the Neem Oil: do I use only at the base of the plant or all over? Lost ally green beans this round, several heads of lettuces and a kale, basil and marigold! Insecticidal soap spray took care of the aphids on the lettuces but seemed to invite everything else in. I've resorted to just putting up with them n trying to start some more seeds for beans n herbs. This has been a rough year. Looking for all the advice n tips I can get
