Do any of you know if pill bugs are harmful? or how harmful they are?


I have a yew on which I noticed a couple of them.

Thanks.

I find they reduce the success in airlayers. But they have no real effect on plants in pots. they live of decomposing plant material

I really can't tell where the pillbugs have been harmful.... the first picture is shortly after I saw them... ant the other two photos are from today about 5 minutes ago. I do actually see the pillbugs once in a while...
