Is Sevin dust good for killing roly polies?

Answer 1

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.
