please help, pill bugs are invading again.

13 years ago

hello, im new to this site, but i hope you guys can help. i have just the past few years started a garden, im still learning the ropes of gardening and havent had a lot of success growing (mostly due to planting REALLY late in the season) however last year something happend that really bothered me. i planted potatos for the first time however before i even planted i noticed a large amount of pill bugs around my entire yard, front and back. well toward the middle of the summer last year i noticed hundreds of pill bugs everywhere i look. they didnt really mess with the potatos or any of the plants...they were just kinda there. this really wouldnt bother me except i noticed that they were making their way into my house!!! i cannot have that happening! i tried ortho home defense max on them and noticed that it wasnt working. so i tried a concentrate spectracide insect killer and seemed to work for maybe half an hour and then they were back! i know pill bugs can be helpful but since they are getting into my house i really want to get rid of them. im looking for something to use around my yard to kill and protect from pill bugs AND be safe for my german shepherd (i know that may make it harder, it usually does lol) please help me with this issue, ive read other posts before reguarding this subject and get 100 answers that everybody argues about and cannot seem to find one thing that "pops". thank you in advance!
