How do you get rid of frogs that your dogs eating?

== == Frogs are great for most gardens because they eat all sorts of bugs, but, there can be an explosion of frogs or toads and cause misery for the home owner and their pets. There are many countries in the world with a bad problem with species of frogs and toads and two are Hawaii (they are using caffeine to kill them) and Australia. Yes, frogs can kill your pets if eaten because they exude a toxic substance from their skin or just around the frogs eyes. Here are some helpful hints: Find out on the internet what type of frogs you have and when they lay their eggs. You can then use a fish net (like you would use for your aquarium) and scoop up tadpoles. You can either lay them on the cement or lawn in full sun so they'll die, or bury them. BE HUMANE! Frogs are good for a lot of things, but don't spray chemicals on them because it's a long and painful death for them and the chemicals WILL NOT kill them immediately! The best method to rid yourselves of the frogs is to get rid of the egg stage as I've suggest above. Then catch the frogs with a net, put them in a container in the refrigerator overnight which causes the toad to go into a coma-like state. Then move the container to the freezer the next morning and freeze until the next garbage collection day or freeze it for a couple of days and then bury them in the backyard compost bin or garden bed. Get together with your neighbours and go "frog hunting" using the freezing method. Some neighbors may have an extra refrigerator and freezer. Frogs in containers WILL NOT damage or contaminate your food in the fridge or freezer if put in containers. Remove any wood piles, old lumber or pots from ground level. Frogs and Toads live in dark, damp, places during the daytime and hunt in the evening hours. If you remove their favorite haunts they will move on. If you have a lot of ferns, shrubs, etc., around your property or near a pool then get rid of them. Use potted plants around the pool or pond area for added attraction. Keep pet food inside the house. Frogs have been known to help themselves to a free meal from a dog's dish. If you feed your pet outside, pick up any uneaten food before evening comes. Empty water bowls, ground-level birdbaths or other containers that have standing water. Frogs are attracted to moisutre. Any standing water is an open invitation. (This step will also eliminate mosquitoes from your garden, but be advised, toads eat mosquitos, so once they have moved on, you may be plagued with an invasion of pesky insects.) If you use pesticides in your garden, you will kill frogs and toads. Their skin is a permeable membrane making them very susceptible to toxic chemicals. In the evening shut-off all outdoor lights (that means lights in your gardens as well as porch lights) and also close all drapes or curtains in the house. Bugs are attracted to light and the frogs are attracted to the bugs. Use bug zappers outside on your porch and if the frogs are coming into the house kill all flies or gnats that are in your home. Once the food source is eliminated the frogs will disappear.

Can frogs swim up a toilet?

are they frogs or toads? is this a septic/leach or public? try pouring a box of rock salt down the toilet. water frogs aren't big on salt. chances are they are living in your drainage system full time but only come up during rain. if you run some salt through there about once a month it will make the environment undesirable for them and they'll look for another place to live. It's not toxic so it won't hurt the frogs or anything else that is probably living there as well. more than likely you have breaks in your piping caused by either age or tree roots. the salt will help keep the tree roots from moving in there in search of water and doing more damage.

What is the difference between a male frog and a female frog?

There are several main differences between male and female Lions. These are: * Males weigh on average 416 pounds (189 kilograms), while females are just under two thirds the size and weigh 277 pounds (126 kilograms). The means the ratio between the size of the male and female is 3:2 retrospectively. * Male lions are typically around 48 inches (1.2 meters) high, but females are slightly smaller and normally only reach about 44 inches (1.1 meters). * The males of the species have a tuft of dark fur on the end of their tails, whereas the females' tails tend to be smooth, with no difference in the colouration at the top. * Males grow a large mane of dark coloured fur at around two years old. This mane surrounds the neck and can vary from a tawny tan to a black colouring. This mane makes the male lion look much larger than its female counterpart. The female lions do not grow manes and remain the same sandy colour all over, with little variation.

* Male lions tend to only live for around 12 years, whereas female lions can live up to eighteen years old. This means that females nearly always out live the males. * Female lions will live with the pride for life, but male lions will only stay with a pride for two to four years before they are either evicted or killed by a new male. Male cubs will leave the pride at the age of two or three, but female cubs will tend to stay in the pride for life. * Male lions hardly ever hunt; this is the duty of the female lions. While the females kill most of the animals for the pride to feed on, male lions defend territory from other lion prides or nomadic male lions.
