Sowbugs and pillbugs are indoor pets that happen occasionally. These creatures are very tiny and cannot be categorized as insects or bugs. They are crustaceans that are close relatives to crayfish. These two are identical in terms of behavior, but they are from different species. Their rounded exoskeletons land them in the same family.

When they are outdoors, the creatures are harmless. However, when they enter our households, they become pests. These creatures eat wood materials that are decaying. Often, you will find them outdoors, and they are very important for breaking down wood material when it is already dead. If a forest does not have these creatures, the fallen trees and branches would be overwhelming. Breaking down the deadwood is beneficial to the soil and the environment.
