I dont know about anyone else, but my tub is a bug catcher. I think the heat attracts them and kills them all at the same time.
What do I do? I just purchased a net to help get the critters out but they are coming in boat loads. I told them no green card, no stay.

The real bummer is when all their relatives start flying in for the funerals...

I just found a bees nest inside my spa. Little buggers squeezed thru the tiny gap between the shell and one of the sides. A quick spray of hornet killer and they were dropping like flies. ;D
Anything to prevent them getting in there in the first place? ???

caulking the gap

I was having problems with beetles (not the music group) and ticks and a lawn and shrub spraying did the trick pretty well. I bought the stuff that goes onto the end of the hose.
Keep pets and children off for about 24 hours to let the pesticide dissipate somewhat.

I have heard caulking the gap mentioned before, but on my spa, there is no gap I can see, just a plastic base connected to the panels.

I had a huge hornets nest up under my skirt ;D last week! I had to take 2 sides off and the corner panel to just be able to get spray on the nest! Huge nest, hundreds of hornets! It took 3 beers, a snowmobile suit and helmet, gloves etc. to get the paneling off!! And it was 90 some degrees out!
Anyway, I disabled them!

maybe these spas are a mistake,
mines not here yet but if it is a bug cemetary what is the point, how can you enjoy the thing?????????

I have 5 spas full of water on my deck. Ocassionally, I find a dead bug in them. That's life. There are probably more dead bugs in your house than there will be in the spa. Relax! ;D

now Phil that must have been a site to see! I did notice at one time bees going into my vents and a nest was forming. I pulled all my vents off and attached screening behind them and since then no problems. I also us a pool skimmer to scoop and floating critters, grass or what ever else is on the top of the water.

Oh come on, I'm pretty sure I said it once...
Hmmm.
I think so..
Maybe I just thought it.
Now I don't know.

Use Bounce fabric softner sheets and change them every 3 months.
Bugs hate the smell, as well as rodents.

That reminds me, I was at Hooter's yesterday after shooting a personal best 92 yesterday (18) They gave me a wetnap, and on it was printed. I married Ms Right.... First name Always.

I've been lucky not to find critters (the simple barn spider is an exception) in the hot tub room...I have found an occasional spider or ant but noting I can't handle

If you live a climatge where there is winter, these bugs are really only an issue for 5 months of the year.

while you soak, angle your jet nozzles up and play "Indy 500" with em' - they're cheaper than rubber ducks...
