Ensure that your chlorine levels are within the proper range, using chlorine shock to raise it if necessary. Maintaining proper water quality will reduce the appeal of your pool other other adult dragonflies looking for a place to lay their eggs.

Check that your pool pump and filtration system are operating properly. If your pump is cycling properly then many larvae may get captured in your skimmer or drains.

You can manually remove larvae when you see them. The larvae tend to gather along the pool walls just a couple of inches from the water's surface. They are relatively slow moving and are easy to catch in your hand or with a cleaning net.

Since the larvae are carnivorous, given enough time they will actually eat each other since there should be no other food sources in your pool, thus reducing the remaining number. Eventually, the remaining larvae will mature and leave by themselves. Remember that dragonflies are helpful insects that eat mosquitoes and other pests.

If you are reffering to small bugs that collect on the surface of the water and /or the tiles, and jump when you touch them, they are probably "spring-tails". It being winter or early spring, you may not have them right now. But when you do, Dawn dishwasing detergent does the trick. Put a small amount of dawn in a spray bottle, fill the rest of the bottle with water, and spray it right on the bugs. The soap either breaks the surface tension of the water, or it just weighs them down. But either way, they drown and will be sucked up by the filter. It may take several treatments to get them all.

Look for a product called No More Bugs. (lo-Chlor) It will put a film over the pool surface and they drown. Vacuum up the residue.

There are special chemicals to distribute in pool water to kill mosquito larvae. To keep them out, use a tight pool cover and filter.
