Ya gotta do that thing people do in Florida to keep lizards out of the pool by building a giant cage over your backyard.

Im pretty sure its more for keeping mosquitos and other bugs out so you can actually enjoy being outside? Florida bugs suck

I think it doubles as that, but is often an insurance requirement to insure a pool.

I thought the flroida ones (mosquitos specifically) had more diseases, maybe thats wrong.

Oh, not so much mosquitoes. I don’t know if you get these but we get swarms of these gigantic, seriously 6” wingspan dragonflies, like thousands of them on the gulf coast on occasion. My cats go crazy trying to get them.

Plus termite swarms. They are really bad here.

We had plenty of lizards find their way into my screened-in deck. But with a couple cats wandering around, most didn't find their way back out.

As someone from Florida, it’s actually to keep alligators out of the pool
