What are Sow Bugs?

Look like pill bugs but they cannot roll into a tight ball. Armadillo segments, flat bottom.

Are they dangerous?

Harmless moisture pest.

What causes them?

Same wet mulch and drip-line habitat as pill bugs.

Signs in the house

Gray armored bugs that do not ball up when touched.

In Middle Tennessee

Wet foundation edges.

What Death Row does

Dry the edge and treat harborage. Call or text 931-500-6969.

Invader tank

Best treatment from the truck

Load Exterior Bifen + seal. Light interior Alpine.

Per gallon Bifen I/T 1.0 fl oz per gallon on the foundation and window wells. Alpine WSG 10 g per gallon on sills if they already walked in.

Rain and first-cold snaps drive these. Seal beats a monthly fog. TN charter 5908. Licensed applicators only. The label beats this card if they disagree.
