I have always been freaked out by these guys. I say Iam sorry when they are squished but seriously they are scary, maybe a little girl encounter withthem did this. Are they poisiness to dogs eating them? I crushed one last night and my lab ate it this morning. Thanks

RE: Potato Bugs Ickkkkk

By "potato bugs" do you mean the wee Pill Bugs or Sow bugs, those land dwelling cousins of crawfish and lobster? They are harmless although greatly beneficial because they eat dead vegetation making larger chunks into smaller chunks that the bacteria can more easily work on. They are more beneficial than harmfull and will not poison your dog, unless the dog ate a ton of them.

Here is a link that might be useful: All about Pill Bugs
