I have seen pillbugs eat marigolds, potato leaves, strawberries, you name it - in my garden. Yes, I have plenty of organic matter in the soil, but they go for everything that they consider tasty! I have found that spinosad and crushed shells (or DE) works to keep them under control; they can be devastating to growing crops and as bad as slugs and snails!
