Sow bugs, also called woodlice or isopods, are moisture-loving pests that are commonly found around foundations, basements, crawl spaces, mulch beds, damp soil, under rocks, under wood, and around organic debris. They are not insects — they are land-dwelling crustaceans related to shrimp and lobsters. They usually live outdoors, but they may enter homes when conditions are damp or when populations build up around the exterior.
At Technica Pest Solutions, we provide professional sow bug control using:
The best treatment method depends on where the activity is coming from, whether the issue is inside or outside, and whether sow bugs are entering from the foundation, crawl space, basement, or surrounding landscape.
Chemical spray treatment is the most common method for controlling sow bug activity around homes and buildings. This treatment is applied to areas where sow bugs are active, entering, or harbouring.
Treatment areas may include:
For exterior sow bug issues, a residual treatment may be applied around the foundation and common entry points to help reduce activity and create a treated barrier. Extension sources note that outdoor perimeter treatments can be used around the home and breeding sites when sow bug or pill bug activity becomes a problem.
Chemical treatment works best when combined with moisture reduction and exterior cleanup. If the surrounding conditions continue to support sow bugs, activity may return over time.
Fogging may be used when sow bug activity is present in larger numbers or in areas that are difficult to treat with a standard spray alone. This may include crawl spaces, unfinished basement areas, void-like spaces, or other enclosed areas where sow bugs may be hiding.
Fogging may be recommended when:
Fogging can help reduce exposed sow bugs in the treatment area, but it does not replace moisture correction, exclusion, or exterior habitat reduction. Since sow bugs require damp conditions, long-term control depends on reducing the conditions that allow them to survive.
Sow bugs are strongly connected to moisture. If the property has damp soil, wet mulch, poor drainage, foundation moisture, leaking gutters, or a damp crawl space, sow bugs may continue to be present even after treatment.
To help reduce future activity, we may recommend:
Treatment can reduce the active population, but moisture and harbourage reduction are important for long-term prevention.
If you are finding sow bugs inside your home, basement, crawl space, garage, or around the exterior of your property, Technica Pest Solutions can help.
Our technician will inspect the activity, identify likely entry points and moisture-related conditions, and recommend a chemical spray treatment, fogging treatment, or combination approach.

We use targeted residual sprays and dusts around baseboards, cracks, and entry points to eliminate sow bugs indoors. Outdoors, treatments may include perimeter sprays and moisture control around the foundation to reduce breeding sites and prevent them from coming back inside.
Yes. All of our treatments are designed with safety in mind. We use products that are approved by Health Canada and apply them in targeted areas where pests live and travel, not where your family spends time. When needed, we may recommend keeping pets and children out of treated areas until products have dried—usually just a short time. Our goal is to eliminate pests effectively while keeping your home safe for your loved ones.
Preparation requirements depend on the type of treatment being performed. If preparation is needed, we will provide you with a detailed prep sheet and walk you through the steps to ensure everything is clear before the service.
It’s normal to see some activity for a short period after treatment, as pests come into contact with the products and move out of their hiding places. This typically decreases within a few days to a couple of weeks, depending on the pest type. If you continue to notice significant activity after the expected timeframe, we’ll work with you to reassess and, if needed, provide follow-up service under your warranty.
