Great time to ask if anyone knows why pill bugs/rolly pollies/etc try to come into our garage constantly.

Your garage is basically like a natural cave and there are some species adapted to live in caves, such as various species of pillbugs, spiders, millipedes, … The isopod living in garages are mostly scavengers/detritivores, meaning they mainly eat dead or dying animals falling into your garage or other organic material they can find. They basically clean up for you.

Well thank you. There aren’t any dead or dying animals in my garage except for other pillbugs 😆. I have to blow it out every few months with an air compressor because there’s so many pillbugs that come in and then die.

They like moisture. They’re crustaceans like crabs and shrimp so they need high humidity at the very least to survive. Bugs also like to find shelter in shade so a big shady place that also happens to be damp is paradise
