Why Sow Bugs Are a Problem in Edmonton
Sow bugs aren’t actually insects—they’re terrestrial crustaceans related to shrimp and lobsters. They require moisture to survive and are typically found outdoors under mulch, rocks, and decaying plant matter. When outdoor conditions become too dry or when they’re present in large numbers, they migrate indoors seeking moisture, often appearing in basements, crawl spaces, and bathrooms.
Sow bug characteristics:
Appearance: Gray, oval body with seven pairs of legs
Size: 1/4 to 1/2 inch long
Behavior: Nocturnal, attracted to moisture and decaying organic matter
Lifespan: Up to 2 years
Not harmful: Don’t bite, sting, or spread disease
Indicator pest: Their presence signals moisture or drainage issues
