Harmless sow bug

5855  Hello, looking to identify this bug and get rid of it. My name is Loay and live in Mississauga Ontario. It’s October so it’s somewhat chilly around 1 – 10 degrees Celsius. I found them indoors (including the basement) and outdoors around main entrances.

This is a harmless sowbug.  They have gills which need constant moisture, so they tend to live in moister climates. They are primarily nocturnal, and eat decaying leaf litter and vegetable matter.    Read more about these common and abundant creatures.      Their presence indoors indicates a serious moisture problem.
