Bugs in Pool

Our pool has been up for about a month, right now the only time we can enjoy the pool is at night because we have little bugs that look like baby bees that stay on top of the water and they bite. What can we do?



Hi Lori. Having never had your problem I may not be of much help. There is a comment button on this page and I hope that one of my readers may have had this situation and found a cure for it.

I would run the filter during the day in hopes that the skimmer would keep the bugs to a minimum. I would then have a hand held leaf net by the pool at all times. The leaf skimmer was mandatory at my pool because every bug that would enter the pool while my kids were in it had to be immediately removed.

There are of course pool domes, a little more extreme, but effective.
