    Ill send a pic of the stain. Luckily I cant send you pics of the springtails because I found about 95% of them dead.


    What I think Ive learned is that adding 2 gallons of bleach after a storm kills them off. Came home from work this afternoon and found just about all of them dead at the pool steps. So I think Ive found a quick way to get rid of these pests.

    Went to take pics and it appears that the stain has almost faded away. I have jets by the stairs and with the jets on you barely see the stain.

    I'm a bit confused on how to attach the photos to a post. But the stain is so minimal now, I think it will be totally gone, or close to totally gone, soon.


    thanks.
