The Critter Skimmer is an entertaining new product. It is a skimmer cover with a built-in spiral ramp to allow small animals to climb out of the skimmer.
While it probably does work for frogs, I don't think it would work for mice. They tend to swim valiantly is small circles until they are exhausted and drown--THEN they end up in the skimmer. I have rescued a few mice in the swimming stage in 40 years of pool care; I have never found a live one in the skimmer that I can recall.
Funny... not a bad idea.. I seem to have a new dead baby mouse in my skimmer every week. Putting white electrical tape over my the hole on my skimmer cover seems to help though.
