How do roly poly breathe?

Roly polies, also known as pill bugs, breathe through structures called pleopods, which are located on their abdomen. These pleopods are equipped with gills that allow them to extract oxygen from the air or water. Despite being terrestrial, roly polies require a moist environment to keep their gills wet for effective respiration. This is why they are often found in damp habitats like leaf litter or under rocks.

Is Sevin dust good for killing roly polies?

Sevin dust, which contains the active ingredient carbaryl, can be effective against roly polies (pill bugs) by disrupting their nervous system when they come into contact with it. However, it is important to consider that Sevin is a broad-spectrum insecticide that can also harm beneficial insects and contribute to environmental issues. If you choose to use it, apply it carefully and follow the manufacturer's instructions to minimize any negative impact. Alternative methods, such as maintaining healthy soil and using barriers, may also be effective in managing roly polies.
