Not sure which Forum to put this question into, so "Everything Else" seems to be fitting.

Is anyone else dealing with kudzu bugs? We just started to notice them a few weeks ago. Two days ago, there were so many near the pool that it impossible to lounge outside of the pool.

Just wondering if anyone else has had to deal with them and if so, has anyone found a good technique to trap or repel?

Well, I'm no bug expert, but I'd say for a pool's sake ... a bug is a bug. I don't think I've had that one, but I get all kinds. I've put-up signs for them to "Stay Out", but they still party in the pool when we're not looking. :party: In many cases, there's not much you can do aside from local ground/area treatments to try and discourage them. Today I fished-out a HUGE handful of large flying ants. Just that time of year. Often times bugs and rodents simply become attracted to out nice TFP water and have to take a dip. At the very least, make sure you have a skimmer sock in your poolside skimmer to help catch them and make clean-up a bit easier.
