Just noticed a small grey Rollie pollie looking big on one of my seedlings. Only found one and believe I killed it but what should I do to prevent/get rid of these bugs. I have another seedling that I didn’t see bugs on and a flowering plant that hasn’t had any issues with bugs

Firstly, seedlingd do not need "humidity domes". Domes just encourage weak growth and diseases.........seedlings need air movement to grow strong stems and to transpire properly. Second;ly, "roly polys" won't harm seedlings, they only eat decaying vegetable matter and one random bug is not an issue.

again @Organoma's answer is key. You should also not have any Rollie pollie's also knowen as pill bugs indoors. They are mostly an outside bug. Just pluck them and kick em outside next time you see. Same goes with woodlouce the falter version of pill pugs that don't pill all that well. all land crustacean. birds love em.

Generally sowbugs/pillbugs aren't considered a harmful pest to plants. They eat debris and can actually be beneficial for soil microbioms though in large numbers they can cause damage to young plants/roots. If you have an infestation, reduce the moisture of your soil and apply diatomaceous earth to eliminate them.
