Pill Bugs are not actually insects, they are crustaceans, like Lobsters or Crabs.....YUM!!!
Night is NOT the time to catch them, go out in the daylight when you can see them, and start turning over rotted wood and piles of old leaves, even flat stones that lay in highly organic areas.
You will Find the bugs hiding in those cool damp organic areas. Where gloves, because other things live there also, some of them bite! Centipedes, and some spiders, to name a few.

If you don't wish to actively hunt them as Bugsie suggests, you can trap them. Upturn a clay pot over the areas Bugsie mentioned, dampen the area under it a little with a spritzer, and leave a twig under the pot so that they can crawl in. They tend to be a bit 'suspcious' of the new item, so leave it a few days. Check in the morning and see if there are any hiding there.
