@Chad I believe Virginia is referring to cane toads. Check out the info on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cane_toad
Thanks for all the advice, folks. I too have had little sleep for the past few weeks because of loud frogs in my new pond. I don’t want to kill them, but sleep deprivation (a real probability) may change my mind very soon.

Hi
I live in Jhb, SA, I’ve been trying desperately to find frogs for my garden pond, so if anyone has too many and would like to get rid of some, pls let me know, I’d love to take some off your hands.
Thanks

I just saw like 3 or 4 hundred plus cricket frogs jumping in front of my townehome and hopping up and down my street and in my parking place.I thought it was a plague.Luckily the frog is the Egyptian God of fertility and life.When the Egyptian nile overflowed with water and gave life to barron lands millions of frogs would be born, that is why they were connected to fertility and life. But still is wierd. I have never seen that many before.

Hey guys. I don’t have a serious frog problem, but it is a problem. Everynight, at least three frogs stick to my window & make noise ALL NIGHT. I’ve also had two frogs in the house. My mother killed one & the other one was found dead. I have NO idea how these things are getting in. I absolutley love frogs but this is too annoying. I read someone’s post about the saltwater. I will try spraying my bedroom net with it tomorrow. Hopefully it works . I hope you all get rid of your frog problems soon ! xx.

There are no poisonous frogs in North America let alone in VA so you needn’t worry. The pickerel frog has a mild toxin in it’s skin but they are rare. It might make you eyes itch if you were to handle the frog then rub you eyes without washing your hands. The paratoid gland on some toads can be toxic to small dogs if
consumed but casual contact is not an issue.

There is a lot of misinformation on here about frogs and some flat out sick and cruel people on here so I would take some suggestions with a grain of salt.

There are some ultrasonic devices that will deter
frogs. The smell of vinegar also tends to deter them. Eliminating areas of standing water or
heavy moisture will also help. Frogs need two things: water and food. If opportunities for both
are gone then the frogs will move on.

Many frog species are in drastic decline due to a number of factors. Further destruction of their numbers is not recommended. Also a number of species are protected. VA has some pretty strict laws. With the number of reptile and amphibian enthusiasts out there it would be pretty easy to find someone to just collect them from your property in order to relocate them.

everyone has a conservation area or morain around find out where that is and the park people will allow you to leave your frogs/toads there as long as they have a new home they will not be back at yours
