Are rolly pollys harmful to my plants?

Question

I have an enormous amount of theses bugs. When it rains they are everywhere. They are the bugs that roll up in a ball when they feel threatened. Don't know the real name for them. Do they damage my plants or eat the bad bugs?

Answer 1

They don't damage your plants or eat the bad bugs. They actually eat the dirt and p**p it out again like worms, which gives your plant better soil.

Answer 2

Nope.

Answer 3

the only time they'll bother your plants is if you keep your garden TOO CLEAN.... they live on dead and decaying wood and leaf litter.... if they can't find any of that to eat, then they'll go for your plants.... they're the first bug my kids are introduced to when they're little... and they keep a love for them even as adults.... rolypoly bugs are neat little critters....

Answer 4

Rolly polys, aka Pill Bugs are completely harmless.They won't damage your plants.
