How do you attract a pill bug?
Pill bugs prefer and need a moist environment to live. They dry up if in a place that gets too warm. They usually prefer a dark setting, so no lights are required for them. Basically, they just need a container that can hold them without cramming them(they're small, so that's not too hard) and to keep the environment that they need, mist the container you keep them in. If mold becomes a problem, try ventilating the container more or misting it less.
(*Note: you can use an empty spray bottle that has never had anything in it to mist the habitat. i only say that because if anything was in it, the chemicals might still be in there, and if they breathe that in, it will kill them)
