Just wondering if anyone else is having problems with fire ants. We are in south central Texas. After every rain they come out in force with the winged queens. They seem to intentionally dive bomb themselves into the pool by the thousands. We had about 6 inches of rain over the weekend and of course the pool was covered with them. I recently invested in a PoolSkim which makes the job of cleanup much easier.

I just wondered what the attraction was to the water. Water sliders also seem to show up after every rain with no other water source in the area. I keep the pool very clean. I guess they like Chlorine, acid and stabilizer.
