How does one get rid of frogs (I know they are sweet little amphibs, but they are ruining my night's sleep)? I live in Florida, have a pool and potted plants (some big ones in pots) and grass in the fenced-in backyard. Help!!!!

If you have water, and don't live in the middle of the city, you are probably always going to have frogs.

How about some ear plugs?

Snakes.....

I've heard that rubber snakes are useful for keeping frogs out of the pool at least.

The other option is to limit their food supply spray regularly for bugs, less bug equals less frogs.

I have a backyard pond and the same dilemma. I live across the street from the woods, and if even one makes its noises, others come from the woods to permanently join it. So the more you have, the more you get. I have found the treefrogs are the really loud ones. Those you can find, catch and relocate (must be moved out of earshot of other frogs in your pond and near water). I sit by the pond quietly, and wait until they start up - I can locate them from their sounds, and then go to that location and search for them with a light. Once the last one is relocated, it takes a pretty good while for a new one to find my pond. The little toads are not that loud - they also can be caught easily and relocated. After a while, you will learn their favorite places to yell from in your yard. I would not use any chemicals in your yard spraying for bugs as you are likely to get that runoff into your pond. I have turtles in my pond, and at least they eat the tadpoles.
