Ok thanks again!

Ok thanks for the reply. I may go with a fan. I was also wondering if mosquitos dunks would help with noseeums. Not sure if I'd want to put them in the pool but the manufacturer says they're safe for pools

I live in North Carolina and recently put up a 15' Intex temporary pool. We get a lot of small flying gnat like bugs that have a small bite - they seem like sand flies or noseeums. There's also bugs crawling around outside of the pool. Any recommendations for getting rid of them.

Ok thanks all. Thought that may be the case. Can I please be invited to your grand opening pool party? :D Enjoy!

I just put in a "pool" - Intex - 15'x42" temporary one. I figured it would be a good dirt cheap test to see if it holds up (more than a few weeks) and how much we use it. It's been great so far and I definitely think it'll be worth upgrading next year or the year after. I may just go with an...

I just put in a small temporary pool and there's a decent amount of small flying bugs by it. I'm in Raleigh, NC so this time of years there's a lot of bugs out and I'm not certain the pool is attracting them. I'm not sure the exact bug, sort of like a gnat/very tiny mosquito, fly/hover in...
