Have you tried throwing water on top of it?One could imagine this would suffice, but no, it's hydrophobic.
Nah, I was a kid just trying to harass the insects, not trying to get rid of them.They would fly off the skimmer anyway, and if your pool is the only water body around, they would be back in no time.
Not enough soap in your pool.
Just one drop of soap within a foot of this guy would suffice
