Toads eat bugs and there are bugs outdoors in your backyard--they are good guys! You didn't say how many toads--if there are more than usual, perhaps some buildings have gone up around your yard and they have been displaced? Also, they like a more "natural" environment, so if your neighbor mows his lawn more than you do, or you have more bushes,maybe they have migratedto a safer environment. Also, toads like to live in holes or hollows--maybe your backyard has some of these too.
The only way a toad can get into your basement is if you have an opening somewhere for it to get in. They don't want to be in your basement anymore than you want them there. It isn't the right habitat for them, and, hopefully, there aren't enough bugs to sustain a toad's diet for an extended period.
