Are these bugs alive or dead??
After only have my 24 ft doughboy for 3 weeks I'm haveing a huge problem with water bugs. Actually I don't know the real name for them. We can net most of them in the evening and by morning there are thousands more. Thanks for any advice.

We just converted our pool using bleach. We are also having problems with water bugs. I thought maybe it was because it has been so dry here. Any clue about how to get rid of them? The pool is the clearest it has ever been!

We use Sevin dust around the perimeter of our home and pool. We have pets and this is probably the safest thing to use with them. We do it several times during the summer season. It doesn't eliminate completely but sure helps.
I don't know if there is any way to completely get rid of these little buggers, except that keeping the pool covered at night makes a huge difference in how many we get. If we leave it off by accident, there are MANY more of them. We have some but never like after uncovered nights.
Beats driving to the lake!
