Pool closing special conditions

[aylad]

I don't know if y'all are having the same West Nile problems this year that we have, but any attempt to keep the mosquito population down would be a good thing.....

An alternative to messing with the cover and such, is to put either heavy oil or detergent in the pool. A little oil, or a lot of detergent, will prevent mosquito larvae from surviving.

Of course, you have to think about where the mess will go, when you pump the pool. The oil shouldn't be an issue, unless you over do it; the detergent might be, depending.
