Frogs

[margaretmitchell]

I recently moved house and removed several garden ponds. The last week the garden has been heaving with literally hundreds of green and black frogs. I have contacted the RSPCA and Environmental Health Dept but without any success. How can I get rid of them? I cannot even leave a door openwithout them coming into the house. Please can someone help?

You destroyed their habitat. I think this is the first plague, wait until the boils and locusts turn up.

As sharingan has said, they were living in the ponds and now they aren't. They will gradually disperse but expect to see them back every year to mate! Actually you are lucky, here in hampshire we have had the frog virus and my garden is no longer a haven for frogs. You can't bring in more from safe areas as the virus persists and just kills the new ones, you have to wait for the resistant frogs to build up the population again.

I'd love a few frogs in my garden. They eat all the slugs and snails.

Why did you fill in the ponds and take their home away?

They'll go eventually and after the plague of frogs comes the plague of slugs and then insects. I have frogs in my garden and they're very welcome.

Poor frogs, wandering around trying to find their home. Didn't you check on this possibility before you destroyed their ponds?
