Frogs and toads are closely related and share similar features. They’re both small amphibians that spend their early lives as tadpoles and develop into air-breathing animals as adults, but it’s important to know how they’re different, especially in a pest control setting. These two animals prefer different environments, and can impact how you approach certain aspects of your treatment.
Frogs are small amphibians with varying body sizes, but you’ll find common backyard species as big as 3.5 inches in length. They’re body colors include patterns of green, brown, grey, yellow, and shades in-between. Frogs have smooth, wet skin and slimmer bodies when compared to toads. They also have powerful hind legs that they use to jump around.
Toads are another amphibious animal, and you’ll find common varieties as big as 6 inches in length. They have a more narrow range of body colors made up of different browns. Toads have dryer, rougher, bumpier skin and stouter bodies compared to frogs, and their legs are noticeably shorter and more suited to crawling than hopping.
Frogs live near freshwater. You can find them around ponds, in gardens, tall grass, or where there is plenty of leaf litter. You can also find frogs in wider areas after rainfall when it’s still wet. Be on the lookout for high levels of insect activity. If you find standing water, this can attract mosquitoes, which in turn will attract frogs. At night, you may be able to find frogs near outdoor lighting, where insects gather.
Toads aren’t as tied to freshwater as frogs are, but they still need a moist habitat. Look around your yard for spots that can retain moisture, like gardens, stumps & tree roots, leaf piles, or other features close to the ground. They have similar diets to frogs, so you can still find them close to standing water and near exterior lights at night. You can find them underneath loose rocks or debris when they’re inactive during the day.
To control the frog or toad population in your yard, you’ll need to treat their food sources and employ Integrated Pest Management strategies, or IPM. Before you start, calculate your treatment area’s square footage by measuring the area’s length and width and multiplying them together. You’ll use this to determine how much product you need to use. Start your treatment with an insecticide like Bifen LP. Bifen LP is a granular insecticide that’s labeled to control a wide variety of insects for up to 90 days. We recommend you apply Bifen with a broadcast spreader to make the application over your entire lawn faster. On a residential lawn, apply the Bifen LP granules at a rate of 2.3 pounds of product per 1,000 square feet of treatment area.
Once you’ve finished your Bifen LP application, it will need to be watered into the soil to reach the turf’s root zone. Do this with an application of Reclaim IT. Reclaim IT is a broad-spectrum, repellent insecticide labeled to treat over 70 insect pests for up to 90 days. This insecticide comes in the form of a liquid concentrate, so we recommend you apply Reclaim with a 20 gallon hose end sprayer to make a high-volume application that will activate your Bifen granules. To control most insects on your turf, apply the product at a rate of 1 fluid ounce per 1,000 square feet.

I do not want frogs on my property. PERIOD! A frog almost killed my little dog so I will do whatever I have to do to keep they away!
What lmao. How?
@@floridaspringhoppers.7354 Educate yourself. Look it up.
you mean your dog almost ate a frog?
@@AdamGman3 Frogs are highly toxic to dogs. No, she didn’t almost eat a frog. Yes, a frog poisoned my dog but our vet was able to save her.
@@HappyWife93 this happened to me last night. This is why I am watching this video. Right now I am willing to do anything.
Frogs are okay…. When they’re not in my bathroom and inside my room..
You have frogs in your bathroom and room! I would freak out!
@@rjelephant8075 yes not just frogs but toads😵💫
@@decoymusic1748 how did you kill it
@@rajeshdebbarma4221 squishing it with a log then sweep it off.. or i smash it with a broom just like playing Golf
@@decoymusic1748 I was really surprized when I discovered a cane toad inside of our house.... I can`t realize how this creature can reach the interior.. Weep holes are too narrow for them. No any gap under doors... What`s going on? As I see, there is only one way - probably somebody from neighbours thrown it on our roof... Than, this creature used a gap in between the roof fascia and gutter (under roof tiles) to enter the attic and jump inside after... :(
Never trust a lawn company for this sort of advice. They want $.
a trick : watch movies at instaflixxer. Been using them for watching all kinds of movies during the lockdown.
@Magnus Larry yea, I've been using InstaFlixxer for months myself :)
i love our resident tree frogs. Our garden now never has a snail problem in the garden - so I think they must have eaten every snail egg they ever found. We do not have any bird baths nor any pond so they cannot breed in our garden - thus they have never become "too many" for us.
But there are wet lands about a ten minute walk away from our home so we know where they came from. They have happily lived in our garden for over 5 years now. We do not feed them but clearly they would not stay for 5 years if there was nothing to eat. They do eat all sorts of insects in the garden. Reason why we never use poisons in the garden - meaning the fruit and vegetables we grow are not touched by poisons. none of the frogs have ever entered our home - they prefer our well mulched garden full of plants
I see a bunch of frog lovers here. We don't have any problem with frogs, we only want to keep them away from our properties.
But why?
@@Back_Day_Barbarian because they are noisy as fuck! They wake me up almost every single night. I got a cat outside hunting them now. Seems to be working
@@Back_Day_Barbarian don't say why..........they are all over my room and shit everywhere..........
I don't like having 30 frogs on my outside door it's hard getting in without them getting in too
@@bharatthapamagar7367 Sounds like you need to shut your door and windows. If you room is full of bugs I’m not sure that’s their fault
They can kill dogs very quickly if they secrete their repellent in their face if scared enough. Dog can be instantly poisoned and not know what hit it. This is extremely common here in Florida they come out most nights.
i have a phobia of frogs and i live in florida so come summertime, i live in a perpetual nightmare. my only solace is inside the house or at the beach where it is free of frogs. one time i came home to three big frogs guarding my front door, i could not come inside the house as i was stricken in fear. i can only blame my mom for putting up solar lights near the front door which may have attracted them. at this point i would rather have 10 snakes in my yard than 1 frog as they look less scary to me
I too have a phobia for frog omg i hate them,, eww ewww! I live in the Caribbean so it’s swarming frogs and toads 😢😩😫😖😖😡
Same💀
I came home and found a frog at front door, I stayed outside an hour before my friend came and scared it away😊
Now it's 1:30 am I was studying for my exams and I suddenly so something jump it's a disgusting ugly frog and now it's sitting in front of my door I can't open my door to guided it outside I'm just scared and watching this video😢😢
Come down to my neighborhood there's a entire army of toads at night 💀
I love them both
Where we live there are no mosquitoes. But the frog population is out of control. They get into houses, garages, etc. They'll jump in while you're walking into your house. They are everywhere in our neighborhood. Even when walking if you're not looking down at the street you're going to step on a frog. They're okay if there's a balance. But when there's nothing to kill them, can you even imagine?
Damn where do you live?
They must be surviving on the plants where you live, or perhaps eating a bunch of slugs/snails (and slugs are a well known pest to plant lovers!)
I have a creek so what do I do move lol they are to freaking loud
Due to habitat loss and degradation, along with increased air and water pollution, many amphibians are in conservation need.
we don't want to kill it .......we just want them to stay away from entering inside my house .............they shit everywhere and sometimes accidentally step on them.........
These things have become a problem in my yard they are everywhere and now there’s a den of snakes in my retaining wall because they are feeding on all the toads. I’m sick of these things and I’m gonna do whatever I can to get rid of them I have two dogs that I paid a lot of money for and I don’t want them poisoned
Got many baby frogs in the yard. Attracting gartner snakes..
I don’t see why you don’t want to get rid of them. They’re really cool
because some people have fear of these critters.
Not when you have one croaking outside your window all night and keeping you up
@@AquaCaprisun my frogs don’t do that
@@AquaCaprisun If you can’t tolerate the natural world move to a city. You being annoyed doesn’t mean they don’t a right to exist
@@AquaCaprisun All in your mind and attitude
I wish I had a whole chorus outside my window
You dont know how lucky you are
I want ward them off because I have several animals at home and not safe when there are poisonous frogs keep coming to my places.
To all you people that say keeping them away from your garden is unhealthy, these mf literally will jump Into my house when I walk in through the front door late at night.
Bought a house with a big yard recently. Beautiful garden but needs a lot of maintaining. Came across a very large Cape Sand Toad (I live in SA and we call these "vlei paddas") and they are my worse nightmare. Im assuming this was a mother frog because the thing was huge. I freaked out when I encountered this monster and buried it under the sand and moved on to another part of the garden I'm busy cleaning.
I use to come across these back in the country where i grew up, and would kill it no questions asked. This one just scared the shit out of me 😆
Nevertheless, the toad's days are over in my yard.
They’re literally the best form of natural pest control and are extremely easy to make buzz off on their own. You’re just a lazy sociopath who skips straight to “kill” when you have a problem
@@Noofter Some people are outright anxious about frogs and toads. Let the man do what he needs to gain peace of mind for himself and his family.
@@ExtrovertedCenobite Being a coward afraid of their own shadow isn’t an excuse to do irreparable damage to your local ecosystem. Can’t handle nature, don’t choose to live where nature is prevalent. I’m not interested in coddling Kevin and Karen’s suburban fantasy at the cost of animals that do more net good for the world than your average person ever will. By your logic everyone should be allowed to act however they want when they feel anxious, given that I quite enjoy not living in a road warrior hellscape, I don’t subscribe to that logic
@@Noofter So you have never used pesticide and would you not kill a snake that may be a danger to yourself and your family even if it does have some benefits to the environment.
Some people actually have panic attacks if they have certain rodents, insects or animals in their yard and yes some of these critters are not away in some far away country habitat but in city and suburban centers.
You don't have to 'coddle' anyone but understand and respect others situation.
@@ExtrovertedCenobite Pesticide is unnecessary if you properly clean your house and store your food properly. Comparing a potentially venomous snake to a frog is like apples and oranges. Venomous frogs don’t exist and the poison ones are only dangerous if you try to eat them. Oh boohoo you get hopped on? Suck it up. And yes it is coddling to not ask someone to get help and letting their mental illness dictate their behavior, I would argue it’s even abusive to the person. I’m not going to respect someone murdering beautiful and ecologically essential critters because one time they had to shoo one off their door or something, I don’t believe in telling sociopaths their behavior is normal. Do you also kill people that make you nervous and anxious? That may sound like a ridiculous question but by your logic it’s a morally sound choice to make apparently. There are places without frogs for those people who can’t handle them, in fact there are quite a few of those places. You wanting to live in a certain region doesn’t override the right of the native animals that have been there for thousands of years to exist
Why the hell would anyone not want frogs and toads in their yard? The do nothing but good and are becoming endangered.
Cain toads can be deadly to animals
They are loud as hell at night 😭😭
Dogs
They make me feel uncomfortable and they wont let me access my front gate
@@randomjohn9983 Oh my bad bro was I in the way lol
Frogs need to live somewhere, they’re going extinct because of us, take care of them. Introduced cane toads ate an entirely different matter here in Australia.
frogs will decrease mosquito population so you should never get rid of it unless if it do something wrong
It can attract snakes and poisonous to your pets
@@t4psilog34 so your saying you want kids to get malaria
@@mikhailgorbachev9524 malaria from the insects? If i would choose between insects bite or snake, i would choose insect.. I can always buy insecticide to kill the insects outside the house
@@t4psilog34 in Asia there is loads of mosquitoes and frogs are the only thing stopping people from getting malaria
i hate frogs like i hate hate hate them i want to kill all the frogs and living things that look like frogs but well i go to hell if i kill all of them tho?
Any Fish Pond owners know what frogs can do to your small fishes if you leave them in with them...
Get bigger fish lul
I love both frogs and toads. Being from california, I never saw any in the small yard I had. Once I moved to Missouri, things changed. I now have 1 frog in the front yard, and 1 toad in my backyard lol. I got so excited last year when I discovered the frog that I picked it up and it peed on my hand 😂. Guess I freaked out the little guy. Anyway-we have a lot of slugs here in missouri (which eat pretty much all types of plants/plant leaves). Every night now I go to the backyard to find him, and then I’ll find enormous slugs for him to enjoy. It is wild haha. He doesn’t like the flashlight or any even low lights on him seems to stress him so a lot of the times I can’t Even see him eating the slug unfortunately-but man is it satisfying to help the little guy out! 😝
The only reason you'd be afraid of frogs and toads is if you've become so domesticated that basic natural sounds and animals are alien to you. If you complain about them getting in your house just stop leaving your door open or take them back outside. I lived with frogs and lizards for years doing this and it was never a problem I just put them back occasionally when they got lost and came inside my home.
So please advise me on how do I get the baby toad out of my kitchen? I have my Siberian Husky in her crate in bedroom w door behind closed.
closed
Thank you Judy
@@judyschneider5687 Scoop it in the dustpan and take it outside.
But I think it’s messing up my oak tree. They dig all the way around it.
Who would do such a thing?!?! Just keep em as pets :D
Yes lets do that... its not like frogs Can't lay over 500 tadpoles and even though a lot will not make it, over 100 probably will... so lts kepp em as pets.....
This just tells how to keep rid of insects..That's obvious..But If there's no insects,what don't frogs like that will keep them away.
how can i get my pond free is a big pond and i dont want any of that green stuf and they eat the fish food some fish starve to death
I live in Arizona. We have Colorado River toads and they are not good to have around our pups because if they lick or touch this toad they can die. We keep getting toads in our backyard. So, we have gotta do something immediately.
I am experiencing the same thing. I have a small back yard in Scottsdale and I find one in my back yard every night for the past 2 weeks. I catch them in a box and relocate them to the greenbelt area, which is about 8 houses away. I don't know if its the same one coming back or a different one. The next one I find, I'm marking him with a drop of fingernail polish so I can tell if it's a new toad or the same one. I have 2 little dogs and I can't let them outside in the backyard at night. This is the first year i had to deal with toads. Im getting very good at catching them and putting them in a box for relocation. Wherever they came from, I wish they would go back.
The easy step give them to me then i can take them to creek near house in let them live there.
use salt 🧂
Not on the ground
Lol…. “Don’t handle them directly”…. 😂🤣…. who wrote this??!!
This doesn’t keep them out of my hot tub!
they like warm places such as hot tubs... sprinkle salt around the area and it will keep them away
What state do u live in?
I don’t want to get rid of toads
Then why are you on here
Frogs and toads are pests? Wtf all they do is eat bugs and chirp at night. Wtf
And are disgusting and can poison your pets.
they also poop in your tank water as well as laying eggs in it.
They're my phobia that's why I wanna get rid of them
@@gabrielarivera4505 Me too I'm terrified of them. And I'm ashamed because I'm a boy😅😣😣😣 but tmi scream everytime i see one or lose my soul if one is even 5 meters near me
@@johnsinger7819 IKKK, I was walking my dog and then I saw one and I had to go inside my house cause i just couldn't- my whole moods changes when I see one
You have to be a special kind of evil to kill frogs. Amphibians globally are already suffering mass exactions from things like pesticides, they are so important to our ecosystems and it's maddening that people want to kill something so important because they're loud or 'scary'.
Americans really be trying to turn their yards into an ecological wasteland
Don't get rid of frogs and toads. They are part of the natural ecosystem, and their sounds can be very soothing if you have the right attitude. A world without wild creatures would be a very lonely and desolate place.
what welli hate frogs and other animals that look like frogs when i say i hate them its like i hate them sooooo muchhhhhhh i want to kill all the frogs in the earth 😭 but i know that be bad if i do
Yeah real soothing at 4 AM.
Shut up troll
You are 1000% correct. The people who kill them are usually sociopaths or selfish morons who get mildly annoyed and decide that means it’s time to kill an endangered species or one at risk.
@@CeBeAy Move to a city if you can’t handle the natural world. Something tells me a single frog is more useful to the world than you are
I hate frogs in my bathroom and kitchen!
Frogs are a nuisance and are attracting copperheads. I need something to kill frogs, toads, gophers, moles
THERES A FROF IN MY ROOM HELP
did you fix ya issue
you ok?
Man I need to stop scaring people
Since you haven't responded, I am assuming the frog got to you. RIP.
It’s just I have small 9 weeks old puppy and if she would go for the toads she would die I already caught 3 and put them in freezer
Teach your dog to avoid them so it is protected.
Apparently some of you don't have damn frogs croaking on your windows all night!!!
thank you! this is why they all must die. They dont move fast enough for my cat to kill them all unfortunatly ;(
I do. I think it's soothing!
The get out frog: _Uno Reverse Card Intensifies_
It’s crazy how some people are attacking others for being afraid or not want frogs on their property. I personally am afraid of them and do not like them on my door they poop everywhere and I think it’s a bit disgusting 🤮 I do not have any bugs or tall grass like like to sit on top of my light fixture. I enclosed it and they still go on it 🫡 just crazy!!! I don’t want to kill them just want them gone. And I think we have the right to want to peace of mind for ourselves. That’s like being afraid of dogs but someone telling you no play with it or not liking the way something taste 👅 that’s what makes us unique we all like and dislike different things.
throw salt in areas they may go by, if you throw salt on a toad, it will eventually die of dehydration
A lot of people here saying don't get rid of frogs and toads...I have an infestation problem with frogs so unless you have experienced that then stfu
I just want them to stop getting into the air conditioner I heard the fan blade hit something one night and found a chopped in half tree frog inside the airconditioner. Annoying asf other than that don’t have a problem with them.
Who the hell wouldebt want frogs frogs are awesome
I have a phobia
@@gabrielarivera4505 so? Would you rather have mosquitoes and spiders everywhere?
@@enderlynxwilloze7935 yes cause am not scared of that lol
they squeeze into my plumbing, and pop out in the bathroom drains daily (more than one frog can pop out).
Yeah what the hell I'm a cool dude just need to get to know me better
Frogs 🐸 are beautiful I don't have a problem with them. It's just toads they just want to take over everything.
NO i am ofendedd
This video is a total joke
Cat solves the problem and live with toads!
Bastards!! Leave the froggies alone!!
I hate frog I killed every night with iguana spray they died instantly
@@Lopezmaria92678 I also do that with stray dogs in my yard. I beat them with a baseball bat and they slowly die. But the frogs and toads are cool though they can stay. They cause no problems.
I got a frog in my yard . 17 shots no 38
This video makes me sad and angry. These creatures are endangered. Start protecting them in your garden. if you have a lot of frogs and toads you are really lucky. If they scare you or freak you out, try learning about them. Your yard is their world too. x
I hate frog I kill them when the came in my front yard I bought some spray especially for frog they died instantly
I dont like trespassers ...
Absolutely!!!
When they ingest your yard and cause an influx of snakes all over your property you’ll change your tune.
They’ve made my lab sick two days in a row
Frogs are going extinct. Nobody should be trying to get rid of them.
GREAT NEWS!!
@@dianesloan497 - What's your point?
They cannot go extinct soon enough. Wish they would all die. Im doing my part to pick them off with my .22 whenever I see one.

I pray to God this treatment works... they crap all over the patio and scare the living daylights out of me ... cant even enjoy my outdoor space in peace.
Get a life if toads or frogs scare you
You guys should be ashamed of yourselves.
I don't know how frogs enter my room. They're so annoying.
Common, use your imagination
Attracting frogs and toads into your garden is a pesticide-free and natural way of greatly lowering your pest population. This is a horrible video.
Th
It is not good for our own benefit you are hurting someone
Don't kill off frogs and toads. Sakes, birds, and frogs and toads are good for your yard! Leave them alone. As a toad owner, I find this idiotic and illogical.
Sincerely,
An offended owner of two chonky toads.
PS: my toads say "Heck You" for this video.
My phobia for frogs/toads says no :(
Here I am trying to find ways to make my yard more appealing for frogs and toads.
Why do people hate living in harmony with nature?
My wife & me recently bought a home near Augusta, GA. There is some kind of small pond or Green body of water just on the other side of the fence from us. We are covered in frogs every night! They are all over our back door, get smashed in the door, they crap on the door, get inside the house & inside the garage. Whenever you go outside at night, you can't avoid them. You will step on them, not even trying to! I normally don't mind frogs, but I do when they become an infestation!!!
I hate frogs
