The only critter that we find disturbing is the occasional snake. We always do a snake check before going in the pool. We only get a snake in the pool once or twice a year, but when it happens it is very creepy. I am not afraid of too many things, but snakes and ticks are on the top of the list.
How does snake get in? Eventually the gaps aren't sealed very good somewhere? I would take flashlight out at night and shine it on bottom frame where it meets the concrete. Little light shinning through probably ok. Deer in the headlight light shinning through from the other side my be the gap you're looking for?
