Question:

How do you control frog population in the home garden?

Frogs croak all night and disturb sleep.

Answer:

We were so sad when we moved to the countryside, for there were no frogs like there had been when we were children. I think the farmers using poisons had killed them all. When we finally saw one in our garden, we spread wet pieces of old carpet and put out tiny saucers of water. Now, we have probably a dozen of them. They are one of the few things in the garden that do no harm and do a great deal of good by eating insects. Learn to love their song. What if you lived by an airport, and couldn't afford to move?
And they eat all the bad bugs that attack your garden. Croaking is a mating ritual, it will end when they have taken care of procreating their species. Try white noise machine in your bedroom, or soft music, and be glad you are blessed with bug eating frogs.
Personally I would prefer frogs croaking over people yelling or cars zooming by. Maybe they are as annoying for you as water dripping is for me. I would love to have more frogs in my garden since they do such a good job of pest control.
Frogs are our Friends.Give in to their serenade. Remember that the lovely croaking sound is coming from something that is eating hundreds of pesky bugs each night.If people can get use to living next to Railroad tracks then I'll bet the frog mating sounds will grow on you.Remember, love the frog,they are your friend. Or you could go out at night and stomp all the frogs you can.
I don't. The frogs control the insect population that is attempting to eat my entire garden. I love it. No cost, no poison, no problem and, the big ones fry up pretty good.
