Re: Weird teeny tiny bugs and stinging/flying ant things
Hi Janet.
Yes, they do seem to jump back and forth. A lot of them were floating on the water, but there were a lot on the tile also. When I scooped some up in a cup, I did notice that some would jump from the side to the water and back and forth.
It sounds like these are springtails. I just saw cpmart's post "springtails or water fleas" and saw your post in there too. I put in 3 gallons of bleach 6% earlier today. In my 20000 gal pool, that should give me 9+ 3 I already had in there. I'll go get some more and get up to 15 per Ben's best guess chart.
Do you keep it there, or did it seem to kill them instantly and you could let it drift back to normal right away?
Thanks,
Robert
