FROG JAIL

We spent a lot of time re-building our old 1920's home. We put in a hand built water feature with a fountain, natural plantings and no chemicals. Well apparently the frogs (and other animals) feel like we did a good job. Snakes, birds, dogs, squirrels, possum, raccoons, and yes frogs love to visit the "pond". Apparently after a rain the frogs send out a twitter to meet at the "pond". They emit a very high pitch "croak". We sleep with our windows open all year long and after many sleepless nights i had to start capturing the frogs and releasing them in the morning. Anyone with a similar problem please note that you must relocate them far, far away or they will come back. This night i only incarcerated 2 violators, but i have had as many as 13 in one night. I would never hurt the frogs so the attached video shows you my very effective solution....tom
