Yeah, we use a spray pesticide around the pool, and it does kill them, lots of them, but as you say being in the desert they must be desperate.

That brings up another question: I wonder if the pesticide will alter the pool chemical analysis in any harmful way, since it is getting in the pool somewhat.

I guess I should have started separate threads for all these different issues, I'll be better about that in the future.
