    Catch and give them to local reptile stores, we use them as cleanup crews in vivariums and as a food source for some reptiles.

      Thanks. Didn't even think of that. Actually, It seems like my own reptile family took care of the problem. I can't even find a pill bug of I wanted too. Just a bunch of fat lizards running around. Lol.

      They are horrible!! But you would never believe this, but I can't even find one pill bug in the garden right now. The fat lizards running around have completely irradicated the problem. So if the oranges do ot work, get some lizards!!! Lol.

      Besides killing two Perennial Rhubarb plants, they also killed almost all 50 of my green bean seedlings, only 5 made it. First year I'm having this Rollly Pollie problem, I think it might be due the the wood mulch I used on my beds this year....

    I just had these little monsters eat my baby dill plants to the nub. You did give me an idea about loss of your soil. Put them all in the bucket and drown them then toss it all in the compost pile.

  • @Earthy-Artist

    Thank you🙂! I wish I had seen your video sooner. Rolly Pollies killed two well established 4 year old perennial Rhubarb pants, and now I'm trying to save the remaining two plants before the Rolly Pollies kill those off too 😖.

    Nice garden. Cut your oranges in slices as they gather under the bottom. At least 1/2 inches thick.

  • @dragynryderz
    @dragynryderz 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    That's a good tip to get rid of them. However they are decomposers as well. So maybe instead killing it perhaps put them in a bucket full of dead leaves and have them decompose them for fresh soil for you to use on your plants? Just a thought.

    you can use a potato masher to smash them to a pulp then you have your soil back along with fertilizer!

    I love those blue-tailed lizards, they always inhabit my cucumber patch which I love cuz those rollie lollies tear my cucumbers up. They want to eat holes in the peels but the neighbors cats get in my cucumber patch to hunt the lizards and often break my cucumber vines... How do I keep the cats away?

    • @steadyasshegrows-lorindape8719
      @steadyasshegrows-lorindape8719  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      I figured the lemons would be too acidic for them. Apples would work too. Just a word of caution, since it's summer, any left out fruit might attract ants.
