Hi,

This is my very 1st post. How can all types of bugs, especially ants, live in a well-chlorinated swimming pool? And what about those ants that form piles, and the suckers live!

The pool people told us there was nothing that could be done.

Does anyone know different?

Thanks,  
Peace Lady:confused:
