Frogs in my pool! How do I get them from getting in?

Question

At night just when the sun goes down, it is like the plague of Egypt with Moses. They stand at the edge of the pool, croak at us to get out and then they finally jump in. I mean like 20 of them each night and jumping each other. How can I get them out? I have a salt chlorine pool.

Answer 1

Build a twelve foot high covered in spikes and barbed wire electrical fence with seven guard towers each stationed with five assassins with antifrog poison blowdarts that...

eh... but seriously, the only way is to build a small wall or other boundary (decorative fence, etc.) that they can't pass.

Perhaps a better solution is to build a small staircase for them to be able to get out of the pool? That way you can still benefit from having frogs around to get rid of the more destructive pests ^_^

Answer 2

editied: if they are coming into your pool etheir their area lakes ponds ect was destroyed or for how many you claim they were they lake pond ect was not big enough for them so they came to your pool

i had the same problem i put the a pool cover over my pool and they didn't get in it again.  and to make sure they do not get in the pool i had a kitty pool filled that up with water and they always came to that pool sense the other had a pool cover on it.

Answer 3

You could cut down their food supply - ie slugs, snails etc.

You could close off their entry point to your garden - eg holes in fences, access in any other areas.

There must be a local pond/lake where you could take your frogs to live in a more natural habitat once you have cleared them from your garden.

I liked your additional details, by the way, and I hope this helps you a little to solve this problem.
