Hutch68 Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 Does anyone have any Idea how to get rid of all these bloody toads from my garden without killing them all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
worgeordie Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 If you realized what good they are doing in your garden,you would not want to get rid of them,get rid of them and you will be on here complaining about cockroaches,ants,and other insects eating your plants. regards worgeordie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hutch68 Posted June 30, 2017 Author Share Posted June 30, 2017 Leave them be then yes? I just don't like the way they burrow into my plants and kick the soil out.... How the bloody hell do they get up there? some of my pots are 2 foot tall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jvs Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 (edited) Well as you can see our dog just loves them,gives her the ultimate high. She did this sometimes as a young dog but now she partakes on a regular basis. I am afraid someday she will overdose but no use talking to an old bitch.After about ten minutes she seems fine again,just drools a lot.

shadowofacloud Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 Try the Zen approach: the toads do not disturb you - you disturb the toads. ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildewillie89 Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 Toads aren't much of an issue, it is the giant snakes that come in to eat the toads that are the issue. Dog was barking the other day, saw a toad with its organs hanging out. Then look up and a big snake was making a get away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dotpoom Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 (edited) I shared this before but here goes again. I had a bull (toad, not sure) frog in a little waterfall we had made in the garden, he hung out in the pile of stones at the base. He was driving me absolutely crazy with his croaking, so one night I went out and pulled all the stones out one at a time till I found the bugger. I couldn't believe it.....he was tiny. I thought he was going to be a monster by the sound of him. I caught him in a net and put him in the river beside the house. Happy out with myself I went to bed and had a good sleep. He was back the next night contentedly croaking away. My wife just happened to say...."Your friend back, him call your name". When I listened again carefully it actually did sound like my name (3 letter name) and I actually began to like it and imagined he was really a friend calling my name when I came home. He is long gone now.....and I miss him dearly. Edited July 1, 2017 by dotpoom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We too had a very loud frog in the outside kitchen a couple of weeks ago , I went to investigate all the noise and found it was a frog about an inch long , it was louder than the resident Tokay. One of my wife's good points is she doesn't like harming snakes , toads ,frogs or crocodiles ( lizards ). But terrified of caterpillars . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lvr181 Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 Welcome to Australia...................oh, you're not in Australia? Our 'infamous' toads are dispatched by catching and freezing, or a squirt of disinfectant on their back or for the rugged he man bloke, a golf pitching wedge can also work wonders.

There must be something about toads that makes dogs and cats not want to chase or attack them. One of our dogs was lying wide awake while a toad was sitting on her.

jacko45k Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 Yeah I had a spell of a lot of toads... used to come home and one or two would be sat on the lawn like they owned the place. Kept chucking them over the back wall....... I think they arrived with a bag of fertilizer, read buffalo crxp! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kannot Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 got a fair few on the land , i like to see them along with other animals, snakes , tree frogs but not the bloody dogs. They are so easy to pick up why not just pick them up late at night and take them on a long drive and release them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
