Answer 1

If your porches are dry, and your walls aren't rotting, pill bugs should not be a problem.

I'd check your sprinklers before wasting money on a spray that will at best be a temporary solution.

Answer 2

There is a great product called "Home Defense" (by Ortho). Comes with a spray gun attached to the gallon and you spray around the house to prevent bugs from getting in the house. Kind-a-like a "shield"...Can be use twice a year.

I had to get it because I am very scared of flying "anything" specially flying roaches that fly everywhere when it is going to rain!!

Answer 3

We use Malathione with fruit tree oil on the ground and sidewalk.

It is great for all bugs including flies and mosquitoes too.

I don't think you want to spray your walls with it though, it may stain them.
