There is a new product called Sluggo Plus that works well on these beasts as well as slugs, snails, sowbugs and centipedes.

The other night I was lying in the hammock I just got for my birthday and I heard this crunching sound. With a flashlight, I began to look for June bugs on the rose bush close by. No, it was not June bugs. Then I followed the noise closer to the ground and it was hundreds of pill bugs munching away at some clover-like groundcover mixed in with my St Augustine. What a surprise! :lol:
