Seeing sow bugs around your home or business can be a sign of both indoor and outdoor conditions that sustain them. Frequently found hiding under piles of mulch, leaves, compost, and wood, this woodlouse is happy to feed on any decaying organic materials lying around your yard.

Unfortunately, sow bugs also won’t hesitate to enter buildings under doors and through gaps in the foundation and make their way to humid spaces like the basement, garage, laundry room, or crawl space. In the circumstance that this bug is pestering you around the house and making you feel well outnumbered, U.S. Pest Protection is here to offer effective pest control for sow bugs in Tennessee.

First, we perform a thorough inspection of the inside and outside of your building for pest activity. We’ll make note of any potential pest entry points and conducive conditions around the premises.

Therefore—and due to the nature and habitat of this pest—our methods for eliminating sow bugs will focus on controlling conditions on the exterior of your home or business.

Moisture Prevention and Crawl Space Services

Many sow bugs gain access to houses through cracks and crevices in the foundation or crawl space. They’re attracted to dark and damp environments, as well, making proper ventilation in basements and crawl spaces especially important to eliminate excess moisture. Make sure crawl space vents are open to allow airflow and that there’s a functioning door at the entrance to keep sow bugs out.

Offering a full range of crawl space services and solutions, U.S. Pest is equipped to improve the state of your crawl space if it or other areas under your home are attracting sow bugs inside. From humidity and moisture control to insulation and draft protection, our services not only help maintain overall the structural integrity of your home but also ensure unwelcome bugs and excessive moisture are kept out.
