Animals and swimming pools. Two things that shouldn't merge. Unfortunately, often times, to the great dismay of conscientious pool owners, they do. ..

If you have a swimming pool or know someone that does, you probably know a couple facts more than the average person without one. First, you know that pools aren't all fun and games- they require quite a bit of maintenance to upkeep. You also probably join millions of other pool owners with a wish for a cost effective automatic robot (or volunteer water and cleaning enthusiast) who can scour the sides of your decorative pool tiles and the grout that connects them to get rid of all the mildew and other grime that collects there so that you no longer have to do it. And finally, if you are a pool owner, you probably have the often unfortunate extra knowledge regarding wandering animals and insects, their attraction to giant tubs of water and ultimately, their ability to get out of them.

This last bit of advanced knowledge is doubtfully information that makes the average pool owner particularly thrilled to be aware of. For a moment let's optimistically assume that the whole world tends to have an affinity toward all living things, especially animals that do not do much harm. It is pretty safe to say that the majority of folks in this category of thought would naturally be in support of an easy, inexpensive way to help save more innocent creatures.

I would love to believe that establishing a reputation as the neighborhood Reptile Rescue Master might be the leading factor contributing to this universal desire to keep animals and insects out of pools, but just for the sake of argument, let's pretend many people have slightly more self interested motives.

Takeaways
  • Froglog is a great product to help you maintain a clean swimming pool.
  • People with swimming pools quite often find various animals and bugs in their pool skimmer.
  • The froglog can be of great use when it comes to cleaning swimming pools.

Not sure why wildlife would want the over chlorinated pool water. Maybe they just can't tell. Anything to help those critters live in spite of all we do as normally like the humans we are.

I was just talking about this with my friend. I had mice and snakes in my skimmer bucket. EEKKS.

Great article! If we ever get a pool, I'm getting a froglog. :-)

I could see why these would be a great annoyance. THanks for sharing. I'll remember when I get a swimming pool.

I like frogs well enough but not in a pool I want to swim in! And those other critters you mentioned-ugh, no way.
