question re Fort Myers area's
It seems some people have a swimming pool cage, others do not.
Can someone tell me what time of the year one really would want one for bugs and ?? or is it not nessecary at all in that area of Florida and people just have it to keep the pool clean of leaves and debris? Also, are there special pre-cautions to take when renting close to a marsh ( sp??); can crocodiles come onto the property in those area's? Thanks for your input |

Meyer's or even the nearby Everglades/Big Cypress swamp. There is a small croc population near Key Largo. Instead, what you find in the area are "alligators." Alligators are not crocodiles. Alligators prefer natural ponds to pools. Its rare, but occasionally, a wayward gator (usually a small one) will wander into a pool, particularly if its near a wetland or canal. All it takes is a call to the local Game+Fish Commission Office. The best bug-free months are Winter and Spring. The mosquitoe season usually begins with the first Summer rains and last into the early Fall. Screening is useful, but many rely on repellants such as brand-name "Off" or DEET or Citronella which are available as a spray, wipe-on, candle or torch. |

Thanks for your input I don't know nothing about the Fort Meyers area. But in some areas of Florida, the cages are part of the city/county/whatever code. I'm sure some folks are grandfathered. I know you only want to rent, but anyone considering building would need to check that out. |

Thanks very much Rog. The info is much appreciated.
Will think Oct then instead of Sept for renting. Hopefully not a hurricane season there :-) Rog' wrote: "paula" wrote: It seems some people have a swimming pool cage, others do not.
