Seriously a miracle worker against pill bugs and sow bugs.
This stuff is a miracle worker! We had an infestation of roly polys (pill bugs and sow bugs) in my vegetable garden of hellacious proportions. They must have come into the garden within the 10 bags of new organic gardening soil that I filled in the raised bed garden with before adding plants. For those who say they only eat decaying material, I can assure you that is not the case as I have seen those little bastards take out a new tender vegetable plant (my cabbage plant was like a skeleton) with my own eyes. I tried the beer traps and the citrus peel traps which caught hundreds but there were literally at least a thousand more and other than getting sadistic pleasure out of killing them, it did nothing. I don't believe it even partially slowed the assault on my plants down. I tried the organic natural pest control spray (with organic oils) and while I can't be sure, it looked like they enjoyed being sprayed with the stuff and went on their merry way quickly chomping my garden to sorry bits, they didn't even pause when I doused them with it. I was very hesitant to use much more on the garden as that seemed to negate the whole organic garden "living off the land" feeling I would have from growing my own vegetables which my children would then refuse to eat, but the sight of those disgusting bugs enjoying my organic garden was too much. While searching on Amazon for a solution, I came across Sluggo Plus. I read the many reviews which seemed to indicate I had found a winner, however it did momentarily give me pause as I read it can be very dangerous to the bee population. However, as I haven't seen any bees in my vegetable garden, and I was desperate to find something that would work before all my plants were eaten, I decided to try it. I ordered it, got it a day later, and that night lightly sprinkled the tiny pellets around the garden and plants (and perhaps maybe muttering under my breath "take that you little bastards"). The next morning I went out early to inspect the garden area as I do every day. Normally I would see hundreds of them swarming around and covering my tender plants while I frantically tried picking them up and drowning them in soapy water and changing out the beer and citrus peel traps, but there was literally not even one after just one application! Seriously it is a miracle. A week later and still no pill bugs to be seen and my plants have already started to rebound and grow. I highly recommend this for pill bugs or sow bugs (commonly called roly polys). Picture attached is my cabbage plant. The eaten up portions were from the pill bugs and the fresh new growth is since the Sluggo application (tiny Sluggo pellets visible in the picture).
