Garry Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 What do you want? Lots of bugs, mozzies, and crawly things or one fat happy frog? I guess he can feed himself on those very same bugs at the other side of the perimeter wall, isn't it ? If you have a full size cover that reaches the floor, then try camphor balls. It seems to stop all manner of critters setting up home in my Ducati. I have been using this method for years with great succes when I have it in storage. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loong Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 I honestly believe that most farmers/kitchen gardeners really don't have a problem with toads. Even when they burrow into the soil right next to a plant, I haven't seen them damage the root structure, maybe they even help by letting oxygen reach the roots. Anyway, they are fascinating, I love the way that when you try to move them, they absolutely refuse and if you persist, they will blow themselves up to double their size. Yeh, I feel threatened now Toads eat a lot of insects, sure they eat beneficial insects as well as the ones that we don't want, but overall, I believe them to be a helper, not a hinderance.

Garry Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 Are those Camphor balls still in the packet? Regards. If you mean by your question, are the camphor balls sitting open in the original packaging, then yes they are. You can place them in any container you like, as long as it is open so that the camphor balls can outgas as designed.Sent from my SM-T211 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sean in udon Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 well I see that some of the mustier denizens of the Thaivisa general topics page have decided to wreak havoc on the farming forum. Google it man, toads are poisonous or uneatable and stay away from water for most of the time..... Doesn't matter but the terms frog and toad have been freely used as if they were interchangeable. Was unsure whether to respond to this or simply bask in the knowledge that I was included in the intellectual insult '...mustier denizens of the Thaivisa general topics page...'. Decided to go for both. Toads can stay away from water if they so choose, because their anatomy is slightly different to that of a frog. They're poisonous, because they're anatomy is slightly different to a frog. Would that be covered by the phrase 'some minor anatomical differences'? I'll make sure I'm VERY specific next time I venture away from the general topics forum. Uneatable? Apparently they are eatable. My host family in Issan don't partake, but they know people who do. I've not seen it myself, but pretty much everything gets eaten in this neck of the woods. After skinning I see no reason why toads shouldn't be on the menu. So, I believe all the suggestions offered are valid for both frogs and toads. Off now, back to where I belong.

Langsuan Man Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 Since the OP admits that he has a residential property his friendly toad is probably getting back into the property via the yard drains. Cover the openings with plastic mesh and he should not be able to get back in Also be grateful that it is not a bull frog what will loudly chirp all night to let the ladies know that he is there, ready, and waiting to breed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JesseFrank Posted April 20, 2014 Author Share Posted April 20, 2014 After I catapulted the toad over the wall once again yesterday, it hadn't returned today, but there were thousands of flying termites floating in my pool this morning. Would the toad have eaten them all ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClutchClark Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 (edited) If you build a toad house (or a toad village if you really do have 14) and you decorate it nicer than the covering on your motorcycle then the toad will relocate. Its really just a simple quality of life issue. http://familycrafts.about.com/od/frogcrafts/a/How_To_Make_A_Toad_Village.htm And in response to the termites...one toad can eat up to 1,000 insects a day. How many were in your pool? http://www.toadilytoads.com/toadilytoads_faqs.html#Anchor-supposed-11481 Edited April 20, 2014 by ClutchClark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sean in udon Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 Toady would have enjoyed a few but not that many. Termites can't swim, so the pond is an excellent place for them. Gecko's love to eat them. If you have fish in the pond, I would've thought they'd be having a feast. Having googled toads yesterday in the hope of elevating myself beyond my current status as a 'mustier denizen of the Thaivisa general topics page', I discovered the spawn and tadpoles of toads are also toxic to most other animals. If you have fish and see toad spawn, get it out. This is a bit late coming for namdocmai - sorry.

lanng khao Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 Had a knock on the door and when I opened it there was a tortoise on the step, I picked it up and volleyed it into the field opposite, anyway about a week later there was another knock, when I answered their was the tortoise back, it lifted its head up and said, what the <deleted>@k was all that about..

Khunangkaro Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 Toads and frogs are cute. Most of them like to be cuddled on their sides. My funny experience in Thailand over many years. I often hear they are poisonous but having touched many I never had a problem. Does anybody ever have had a bad/painful encounter? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meadish_sweetball Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 Every time you say 'excuse me' in Thai with an English/American accent, the devas mistake it for you asking for another toad. And boom, your wish is granted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gina Monash Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 Water / Detol, 20 / 1 in a spray bottle. spray the area or surrounding area you don't want toads to go. A light spray directly on them will kill them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamhar Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 My Aussie friends tell me a 3 wood works a treat! ".... Nope, need to clear the fence. Gotta have some loft. I recommend a heavy wedge, like a Cleveland gap wedge...... Just a personal preference On a serious side, the toads do eat a lot of bugs. Rather have the toads than the mossys, flies or other insects. You can do what you want or feel is necessary but these are pretty helpful critters. plus the tadpoles eat mossy larva. they are pretty handy to have around if you dont like mossys or flies. ......... just check your shoes before slipping your foot into it NOT a good feeling if you have a visitor inside it! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I prefer to live and let live. I am not in charge of the world, hence I refrain from issuing orders. I am not perfect, hence I refrain from telling others where they are wrong. I try not to take other peoples inventory, but rather work on my own resentments. I don't know all the answers and haven't met anyone yet that does. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
