Dead animals in the pool

[flomaster]

Does anyone know if there are any existing methods to keep critters from drowning in my pool overnight? I know a cover would work but not doing that everyday. This morning it was Peter Rabbit, yesterday Morocco Mole and the day before its was a dumb azz squirrel. And no, life jackets provided pool side won't work either. Thanks all. I think this is post 1000 for me. Do I get a prize?

Just wait until you find a live snake in the pool.

Shock the pool and you'll get white frogs.

If the moles drown in the pool at least they won't be tearing up your yard. :shrug:

Maybe providing another source of water?

That might be why I haven't had this problem. :shrug: Maybe the critters can smell 'em and stay out of the yard.

I had a frog drowned. Imagine that!

Put up a sign that says "NO unsupervised swimming" :shrug:

I remember the white tree frogs in our pool when I was a kid! I use to love those little guys!

 

[flomaster]

Otters make good life guards

Oh, this brings back memories...........I used to have tree frogs dive bomb my pool...........I usually treated the pool at night, so in the morning when I found them, they were 10 times the normal size. I'd just toss em in the woods, they usually exploded when they hit the trees so clean up was easy.

My neighbor bought about 30 of those pink flamingoes with the wings that go around, like a whirly-gig for his mole problem. It worked for him.
He told me the vibration from the flamingoes chases them away. Go figure.

It did look kinda funny when they were all out there, spinning away.

You can get a Pool Alarm so that when it goes off in the middle of the night you can run out and save the little critters!

All I ever get are bugs, frogs and an occassional mouse. I'd cry if I found a dead bunny in my pool.

And Speedy, I opened my skimmer one morning to find a snake. That freaked me out big time. I don't know who was more afraid of whom...him or me.
