Get rid of Frogs?
This time of year we have lots and lots of inquiries about methods
to get rid of frogs....the noise they make at night can be a bit
disconcerting!
BUT...Frogs are incredibly beneficial: They consume an inordinate
amount of insects!
Frogs and Toads are suffering from massive shrinking of their habitats
and if you are lucky enough to be able to provide some then THIS IS
A VERY GOOD THING!
Remember: Out of 10,000 frog or toad eggs, only one makes it to
adulthood (on average) to the point of reproducing.
It is preferable to leave the frogs alone, but there are some things
that can be done to reduce their numbers:
1) Get rid of food sources. Frog eat insects and insects are
attracted by light. Turn of all outdoor lights and use dark curtains
in front of windows that let light shine outside.
2) get a cat
3) remove all possible hiding places close to the ground (wood piles,
low growing plants, empty flower pots, etc.
