Tree Frog In Swimming Pool

The peron s tree frogs you can see in another post are new residents.

Tree frog in swimming pool.

Cope s gray tree frogs have taken over my unfinished pool. Once that light hits their eyes they do not move. Here s how it works. After weeks of extremely loud noises from toads frogs that took up residence in shrubbery by the side of a green swimming pool the shrubs have been removed and there are dozens of tiny brownish colored critters in the pool generally seen clinging to the side just above the waterline or resting on some bubble wrap that blew in.

Once the migration period has passed. It s kind of inconvenient but also exciting. I have some flax plants along one side and the foliage regularly hangs in the water. Attach a solid flat object to the lower 18 to 20 inches of the fence to detour small frogs.

The problem with the ground dwelling frogs is that they can t climb out of the pool. The sides are vertical and the coping edge overhangs just a bit. Use anything from clear plastic to cardboard to plywood or lumber. You spray the anti frog liquid around the edges of your pool the anti frog spray drys into the deck as frogs approach your pool the dried salt and vinegar reacts with the skin cells on their feet the frogs feel a quick temporary burn under their feet and hop away.
