How do you get rid of diving beetles?

Here are a couple of answers (copied from previous question and answers)

1. They live in your yard and fly into your pool and also fly out. If you look real close you will see a small air bubble on them. Simply spray a "small" amount of Wisk laundry liquid over the pool and this will prevent the air bubble form forming and they will leave the pool... Why Wisk, because it contains a water tension breaker...

2. If these are the "swimmer" type of bugs, you can get rid of them in the pool by putting a couple tablespoons of Lemon Joy on TOP of the water. I usually wait until dark, turn off the pump, allow the pool surface to smooth out, then turn on the pool light - the bugs are drawn to the light. Then I only have a small area to cover with the Lemon Joy. When the bugs surface for air, they will get covered with the soap and cannot breathe. You have to be patient and wait for the bugs to come to the light, then come up for air. By the next morning the soap is neutralized and the dead bugs are floating on the surface. Ross Townsend
