We currently have a big problem with Pillbugs. The previous tenents in our apt had a issue with moisture in the bathroom floor. Now that we moved in we were forced to correct the moisture prob but still have the bug problem. Im also worried about a mold issue. Our landlord refuses to do anything about the issue and acts like it doesnt exist. I wish i could just cut up the floor and clean it out but i cant. So does anyone know of what i can use in the floor to kill off these bugs?? We kill on average 15-20 a day. I have a 15 month old son and i dont want him getting into these nasty bugs. HELP PLEASE!!!!!!

Pill bugs aren't nasty (they don't carry germs like flies - even cockroaches don't carry germs), but they are annoying. Check out www.whatsthatbug.com and look up pill bugs. That should direct you to a link or two that will tell all about them.
Off the top of my head, though, I would say that sprinkling borax along the perimeter of the room would help. Borax dehydrates the bugs and they die. It also dehydrates the eggs, stopping the life cycle. It's basically what non-toxic flea control companies use to kill fleas in carpets.
