Since Spring came and the weather is warmer, my critters have returned. I have a round bug that rolls up when touched. They invade my kitchen and dining area every year. I know I can spray with regular bug killer but I would like to know if someone can help me with the name of this bug and any special product I can use to get rid of them. Thanks so much for your help.

Sounds like a sowbug or a pillbug. Check out this fact sheet to see if this is what they look like.

These are pillbugs. They eat plant leaves and also the roots. I don't know why they are in your house, but the only thing you can do is spray around your house, window sills and door frames. Go to Lowe's or Home Depot to find out which product will work best.

They are called Rollie Polly's . Every time some one touches them they usually curl up.

This is a pill bug, and I don't think they hurt anything.
