This book, Tiny Game Hunting, has been a GODSEND! Not only has it helped me identify a lot of bugs in my home and garden, but it's full of environmentally-friendly traps, repellents, and such for everything from aphids and wasps to raccoons and deer!
For sowbugs and pillbugs, it lists two things as major repellents: an onion spray made of 3 onions and 4 cups of water run through the blender then strained, you can spray the plant, or sprinkle it in the earth around the plant..or..sprinkle lime in the vicinity.
I LOVE this book!
It's helping me TONS with our paper-wasps!

My Son & Granddaughter are allergic to Yellowjacket & wasp stings, & we've always had to use chemical sprays & bombs to get rid of them.
