Yay!!!New pool!!!

Eww bugs is right! It's funny that you should mention that,Dave. There are actually threads here on the forum where Ben has posted some pretty disgusting pictures where he has put alerts "Watermom, don't look!"

That's "pretty fascinating pictures", W-M.

Not my fault you are 'curiosity-challenged'.

[Watermom]

I admit it. I am definitely not a "creepy crawly critter" kind of girl!

Sorry. I really hated to post that but they're in the pool and qualifies as a pool question. Hopefully they'll be gone soon. I am a true country girl and love the outdoors....except for the creepy crawlers.....and, I know, they're everywhere!!!

It might help to keep any lights in or on the pool off so as to avoid being attractive at night.

[PoolDoc]

Right! And, remember REFLECTIONS of lights, count as lights. Bugs will fly towards the 'moon' in the pool, not that you can fix that one!

I get a ton of bugs in my pool, have to clean them out every day. We have an actual streetlight as a security light in our backyard though. Shines right down on the pool at night. Guess we are pretty much stuck with the bugs unless we tell the utility co to shut the light off... :/
