5 Ways to Get Rid of Frogs in your Garden<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

The loud, resounding croaking of frogs that channels from one frog to another like an opera symphony alerts us immediately to the presence of the slimy creatures.\u00a0 However, there are those solitary, crafty ones that crouch docilely in hidden corners waiting to give you a mini heart attack when you walk past.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Many people are simply repulsed by the sight of their wet, protruding eyes and warty if not clammy exterior.\u00a0 It makes their skin crawl with just a glance at the expanding and contracting pouches of skin or vocal sacs as the frogs croak.\u00a0 I once had a neighbor whose garden was infested with frogs.\u00a0 Every morning she would don her pink rubber boots and would kick every single frog out of her compound until it was frog free.\u00a0 She proudly claimed that it was her morning workout but it all ended one fine morning when a clever frog decided to hole up in one of her boots as she received a nasty surprise.\u00a0 Here are 5 different ways to get rid of frogs without injuring the poor animals.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. As frogs desperately need water to live, draining any body of water in your garden would be one of your best options.\u00a0 Any ponds or birdbaths should be removed as it is a constant access of water to the frogs.\u00a0 Filling up large holes that collect water in your lawn should also be done.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    \u00a0\"\"<\/a>2.\u00a0 If you have a really strong sentimental attachment to your koi pond and all the fishes inside it, simply remove any weeds or algae in your pond that might be breeding grounds and where frogs seek shelter.<\/p>\n

    3.\u00a0 Another option is to remove their source of food which is basically flies and mosquitoes just to name a few.\u00a0 Do not leave food lying around and close your trash cans tightly as flies are attracted to them.\u00a0 Using a reliable flytrap is fine also.\u00a0 \u00a0As for the mosquitoes, simply get rid of any standing bodies of water.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

    4.\u00a0 Make sure your lawn is cut and clear your yard.\u00a0 This will eliminate hiding places for the frogs to hole up or rest as dark, shaded areas appeal to them.<\/p>\n

    5.\u00a0 Spray salt or vinegar solution in your yard.\u00a0 This will deter them from going inside your yard as the salt stings their tiny webbed feet.\u00a0 Use minimal dosages of the solution as they are harmful to the plants in your garden too.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
