White rice like bugs in skimmer

[Tom18202]

Not sure which forum area this would fall into. I have been dealing with a lot of issues this year. Anyway, I have been using filter socks to try and help catch stuff before DE filter. Anyway changing out the skimmer sock today I noticed these white like rice bugs? Any help on what they are and how to get rid of them would be greatly appreciated.

Search for "springtails". See if images found online match what you found in your skimmer. The photos you posted don't have enough detail to identify them.

Looking online I have a lot of trees around my pool think they are larvae

What kind of larvae? Are they only in the skimmer or clustering in the pool as well?

I take it back i am not sure if they are Larvae or not. I could only see them in the skimmer basket. I replaced the skimmer sock last night and this morning checked there was not a lot of debris and i didn't see any of the white rice like things anymore. There may have been a few but since the skimmer sock was white it was hard to tell. I look around the pool rail, the deck and in the water and i didnt see any there. They were only in the skimmer.
