Business Pest Control for Roly Poly, Pill Bugs, & Sow Bugs in Modesto
How can one such small bug have so many different names? And don’t forget the alternative name (as if it didn’t already have enough) of doodle bug.
Understanding the Roly-Poly Bug: A Common Household Nuisance
This is not an insect at all, but a terrestrial (earth) crustacean, from the woodlice family. All of the diminutive names come from the fact that this pest has the defensive ability to curl itself into a ball, making it more difficult for predators to find its middle. Regardless of how interesting it might be, this is a household pest that many homeowners want to control. It is a creepy crawly armored bug that gives many nightmares.
Identifying and Managing Roly-Poly Bug Infestations Effectively
This slow moving bug looks like a tiny armored tank, each segment of its body covered by armor. Ranging in color from a darker brown to a silvery gray, they measure somewhere in the 1/2″ size. They are mostly found outdoors in moist areas feeding on your vegetation. When it proves to be too hot or cold from them, they move inside your home.

Comprehensive Ant Treatment Options
Treatment for ants can include both bait and insecticides. The best of all treatments includes locating the nest and destroying the queen. Most ant nests are located outside the home, and targeting their home is the most effective treatment. We use a material which is applied outside the perimeter of your home, creating a barrier of protection for your structure. This chemical agent attaches itself to the individual ants, who then carry it back to the colony. Ants frequently groom themselves or other ants, ingesting the pesticide and spreading it throughout the colony. It eventually reaches the queen, destroying the nest.
Our material is a professionally applied pesticide that is ant specific and highly effective in exterminating ants while destroying the nest. This pesticide is unusual in that it is not a repellent, which means it is not detected by the ant so that they will avoid it. Since it does not repel them, they interact with the pesticide and carry it home with them to the nest.
Home owners should be aware of the fact that treating ant infestations yourself could have a negative consequence. Most of the over-the-counter ant treatments can lead to a condition called budding, in which individual ants can become separated from their colony which leads them to create a new colony. Instead of eradicating your original colony, you might have created an additional one.
