To reduce the number of cane toads in your area you need to get rid of them faster than they can replace the numbers you are removing.
What we know:
1. A female Cane toad can produce around 30,000 eggs in a single clutch, so the few toads that you missed can rapidly replace all the ones you removed.
2. Toads are each others worst enemies (They eat each other, compete, and so on) so the more toads you remove the better things are for the ones you leave behind.
Basically what I think is that you should remove the female toads first and then the male toads and get rid of any eggs or move them to a new place.

Reason for introducing cane toad Cane toads, Bufo marinus were introduced into Australia to control the grey backed cane beetle and the frenchie beetle that were destroying sugarcane crops, they are still spreading across Australia. They failed to control the cane beetles, and became a major pest themselves. Cane toads can harm native wildlife by eating small animals and poisoning larger predators that try to eat them. Household pets are also at risk from poisoning. So far, there is no known way to control cane toads across large areas, but scientists are searching for a biological control agent that is specific to the toad. One hundred and one toads arrived at Edmonton in North Queensland in June 1935. Unseasonal breeding occurred almost immediately, and within 6 months over 60,000 young toads had been released.

Ironically they were introduced to destroy a cane-beetle plague. But the beetles are living in cane, where the toads cannot reach them.
