An old timer Texan told me to put some Ivory dish liquid mixed in a hose end sprayer. m
Blast the lawn.

My home was being invaded... over a year ago. My husband bought some yard spray stuff at home depot, used it once, and I haven't had a bug (especially rolly polly) problem since. It was just plain ole yard spray.

A small nuclear device may take care of them.

What about the milipede or centipede or whatever the little multi legged wormy things are?

I fing these little curled up things near doors and in corners and along baseboards.

How do they get in. what do they want?

Three hots, a cot, some cool sounds and pleasant companionship! Is that too much to ask for?! :)

They will be assimilated. We will add their distinctive biology to our own. As long as there is still hot sauce around.

Rolly Pollies and similar bugs will succumb to the dish soap, and that is the most economical control I have seen. Pesticides will, of course, also work, but I think they ae more expensive. Don't over do it though, they are benificial to your lawn.
