Does anyone else have a problem with roly poly bugs inside your home? I will be calling Kramer Triad to exterminate but I just want to see if it is a problem for others.

Roly Polys

Hi Elayne,

Gosh, sorry for the delay, I've not been paying close attention! All basements have roly polys, they are not harmful. If you have thousands of them, please call Signature Associates or email callcenter@signatureassociates.com

as Kramer-Triad was let go three years ago.

But I don't think a couple are anything to worry about, unless it's also wet somewhere. Then you definitely need to call Signature.

Just in case anyone else stumbles on this, don't have a solution, just a humerous (?) anecdote.  Several years ago, my wife and I were leaving to go shopping and as we gathered our 5 year old daughter from our back patio, we noticed her little friend from next door looked like she had tobacco between her lower lip and teeth - like her dad usually does.  My wife checked her and found not tobacco but a bunch of roly-polies - and they had turned white!  The little girl was fine as of 18 months later when we were transferred, and her dad had been so repulsed by his daughter's imitation that he had been tobacco-free since that day.
