Are pill bugs dangerous to human health?

007 asked:


I have discovered that pill bugs are in my house on the first floor. I have not noticed them on the second floor, but they are so many of them day after day in my living room, bathroom, etc. Are these insects ( or isopods as scientists refer to them) harmful to human being or to humans’ health.

I have heard of them being in gardens, but now they are in my house, is there something I am doing or not doing? how can I get rid of them?

    No, they are not dangerous to humans and they do not cause any trouble to house, either. But having them in bathroom may indicate that you are having too moist in there ( they like moist conditions) and you may have some water damage. Lea H

    Sorry.. I don’t like creepy crawlies at all.. maybe try calling an exterminator.. look in the yellow pages.. I don’t think they’re dangerous or poisonous though.. just yucky :) ♥Jasmine♥
