Ground nests of yellowjackets or bumblebees may be controlled with Sevin dust. They can attach themselves to the skin and release a poison that causes irritation and intense itching. The small, grayish pillbugs or sowbugs are not insects. You find them under boards, leaves, and in flower beds and other damp places. They roll themselves into a ball when disturbed.
Snails are slimy and soft bodied with slimy spiral shells about one inch long.
They look like snails but do not have shells on their backs. You find all of these pests in lawns, but they damage young flower plants more than lawns. Control Use bait containing metaldehyde or Mesurol. Follow label directions. To Determine Amount of Insecticide Needed Measure length and width of lawn.
