Ich habe eine Falle erstellt, um die übermäßig verliebte Explosion der Pillenwanzenpopulation in meinen Gartenbetten einzudämmen. Das Ziel war einfach: Entwerfen Sie einen luxuriösen, verlockenden Versteck, der für Pillenwanzen unwiderstehlich ist – wie ein dunkles, gemütliches Airbnb, das sie fünf Sterne bewerten, aber bequem nicht mehr eingecheckt werden können. Überraschenderweise habe ich festgestellt, dass Köder keinen großen Unterschied macht. Köder oder kein Köder, sie tauchen trotzdem auf.
Die Unterbringung der Platzierung ist jedoch der eigentliche Game-Changer. Ich habe Top-Tier-Pillen-Bug-Hospitality-Bewertungen erreicht, indem ich Fallen entlang von Gartenbettkanten und Ecken positioniert habe, im Grunde genommen überall, überall, feucht und leicht gruselig. Wenn unsicher, nur Stiel-ich meine, beobachten Sie-die roly-poly-Population, um zu entdecken, wo "Es passiert." Sie werden Sie direkt zu Prime Real Estate führen. Der Falledeckel sitzt niedrig und erzeugt genau die Art von mysteriöser, wandelerregender Atmosphäre.
Die Falle besteht aus vier sorgfältig gestalteten Komponenten: dem Gehäuse, dem Fallenkörper, dem Trap Deckel und einer optionalen Gehäusekappe. Das Gehäuse soll mit Ihrem Gartenboden bündig begraben werden und beinhaltet ein Entwässerungsloch, um unbeabsichtigte Pfützen zu vermeiden. Der Fallenkörper rutscht bequem hinein und aus und schonte Sie von wiederholten Ausgrabungsmissionen und verfügt über einen diskreten Entwässerungsschlitz, um die Roly-Poly-Gäste bequem trocken zu halten. Schließlich gibt es eine optionale Kappe, die praktisch ist, um während der Installation Schmutz und Trümmer fernzuhalten oder wenn sich die Falle selbst einen Tag frei nimmt.

wait….I thought these guys were good for your garden… are they not?
I always thought they were beneficial in gardens.
To be clear, the trap doesn’t hurt them in anyway and I relocate them to the area of my compost pile. I’m not trying to eliminate then just curb the population to the point they stop mobbing my plants.
Oh! I might catch them like this for my vivarium
This is a significant upgrade of my ‘small jars buried up to the lip in the ground’. But they worked, as the bugs were stupid enough to just walk right in and I managed to get the literal thousands of pillbugs in my new raised bed that were eating my seedlings down to manageable levels (like at the start there were so many the entire bed was a carpet of moving bugs and I could pick them up at the edges by the handful). The cover is a huge benefit though, as rain and dew would get in my jars and rotting pillbugs smell exactly like off prawn shells :S
Welcome to the Hotel Rolly Polly~
Oh, I want one of these. Looks like it would also make a good slug trap.
Cool device! I Love em in my compost piles, but they will and do take out seedlings in the garden. Pill bugs and birds are the reason I plant larger seedlings.
/r/isopods would love this
Get yourself a child from the ages of 2-6 and they’ll collect more than your trap could ever hope to

Excellent design, but the slogan needs work.
“Come for the food, stay for the trap” doesn’t really have that ring to it.
How about “Roll on in, poll on out”.
This is awesome! They ate all of our strawberries last summer. Do you sell these?
Oh man this is the hotel California for bugs
no AC? Little sofa for ants? No juice? You call that hospitality?!
I love this. I also want to say that I was intrigued and checked your profile. Your designs and prints are so cool!
Pincher bugs are my real problem. Have them by the thousands and they actually eat my plants.
Oh man, I need one of these. I’ve been wanting to start a roly poly colony, but I can only ever find one to three at a time, and it takes like twenty to start a colony
Im sure the isopod sub reddit thanks you for your humanity, I know I do 😁
I need to come up with a modified version I can out near my pool because this is genius. We keep having mass drownings of pill bugs in our pool every few days. I’ve tried putting out pill bug safe water dishes in the area, building escape ramps, but there’s still little round corpses and my daughter gets so sad. A little resort for relocation sounds like the next logical step.
Fun fact: they don’t pee. They release ammonia via their shell
ETA: pee= urinate
AMAZING!! Where can I buy one?!? Roly poly bugs *allegedly* only eat decaying plant matter but not in my garden! In my garden to eat, whatever the heck they want, sometimes to the point where they kill plants. It’s incredibly frustrating!
I’m not even joking, I would pay many American dollars for one of these and relocate them to my compost pile as well
I suggest you call codename the device as “Hotel California”
You made a ‘hotel California’ for pill bugs! They can check in any time but they can never leave 😂
I have never ever seen anyone have a problem with the humble woodlouse before.
What’s the issue with rolly polies?
