How do I get rid FROGS????... NOT TOADS ... Have Frogie'rier (like Cavier) very morning all over the pond!!!... Of course, the koi usually will eat most of it... as well as any tadpoles that develop... Counted 12 in a couple of minutes last night... But, very concerned that they will attrack snakes!!!!! and they do!!!! Any solutions for control other than a 'Nightly Frog Hunt'??
Yeah, Golden Orfes are another type of pond fish, just type Golden Orfe in google, you'll be surprised about the results, lots of Golden Orfes outhere! The thing is, once the Orfes mack out on the frogs, you'll be stuck with a bunch of fat Orfes, so it turns out you will still need the french! lmao!!
Would the snakes eat the fish ? Frogs aint so bad all those tadpoles that hatch out are good eating for koi. Some times frogs can bring in the odd parasite but then again you can raise your pond so they can't get in.
Don't believe the snakes will eat the fish..but they will bit me and mine!!!! Or scare the pants off of me causing a heart attack!!!! Plans are to raise the pond but frogs could easily jump over the few inches I intend to raise . . . Frogy'iar YES, Toady'iar, NO . . . Jim
Hmmm I dont know how flat or uneven is the area around your pond, but you could buy a roll or 2 of galvanized wire mesh ( not too expensive) and build a fence around the pond... Just a tought
My problem isn't that the frogs are in the pond... perfer taht they aren't but that they GHERP all night .. my bedroom is just next to the pond.... like, 4' and a block wall away!!!!!!!!!.... Need to stop the get rid of the frogs which will stop the noise, snakes, and carp in the pond... I'll feed the Koi... the Forgy'ier isn't needed!!!! There has to be a chemical that frogs can't stand!!!! ... How bout Moth Balls... anyone tried them???...They are good for some insects... Jim
Before you guys start..... I am very fast and can catch Moths with one swat ...every swat get one... and I dont'care about their future populations!!!! Jim
Oh my, this is a horrible video!! I had to stop watching it...I hope to never witness that one! BTW; I had to laugh at a lot of the post..lol I had 5 couples of frogs in the pond Sunday and they sure are noisey! Mookey

i used to have nightly hunts for frogs in my side pool, coz they create such a racket when i sleep. then i got used to the sound and the aircon is now on every night. but it's fun to see teeny tiny frogs hang out on the water lettuce and hyacinth that i have in the side pool, and they happily gobble up any mosquitos and insects that land on the water plants. i now have small frogs hanging around some plants in the garden. didnt think of them attracting snakes, and assume that around dsara jaya there would be now extinct!
however i do have a problem with 2 cats who are fighting over my garden - depending who wins each fight, it craps in the corner of my garden!! grrrr!! any ideas deter them?
Hi cykoed, Although my frogs get pretty loud, I "do" like my frogs..LOL...good thing that we live between two elderly women who are hard of hearing...LOL The itsy bitsy little frogs are really cute..I have heard that frogs can eat your fish though..so far I haven't lost anyone to frogs. As for the cats get a squirt gun if you can catch them or hose 'em. I have a couple of cats that roam the neighborhood and they get on my fence sometimes and I have caught them in the back yard..I scat them away. Don't want cats hanging around my fish..I love cats, but cats and fish don't mix. Good luck w/your cats..LOL Mookey
i'm thinking of using fishing line (so it's not unsightly and will have the surprise factor) and securing the bottom of the gates and side/ back fencing. as for the tops of the wall, then i'd do the same and string a line a few inches up from the top. then sit back and hopefully be able to see one of the cats get shocked and awed (twang!) attempting to enter! i dont like cats, so i'm happy to be merciless ....maybe rig the lines with explosive *evil laugh* (to cat lovers...i'm only kidding....)
