They (especially frogs) are a sign of ecological health. Rejoice. They are a nice addition to your landscape. And Ribbit.

Are you sure they aren't Toads and not Frogs? Either way they eat 1/3 of their body weight a day in insects. They have a short gestation period when they get preggers.There isn't much you can do but watch where you step. They should be coming out at night more than in daylight. Anywhere you have flood lights or light sources they hang out underneath because the brite lights attract bugs..If you don't leave your outside lights on all the time they will not be out as often. I put motion detectors on my outside flood lights and it helped greatly........

Consider yourself lucky. Every frog and lizard you see is probably eating 20 to 50 bugs each per day.
And personally, I'd much rather have reptiles than insects around my house.

Don't worry a snake will come along and take care of your problem.
If you are worried about the snake forget about it. A coyote will come along and take care of him.
Worried about the coyote? Not a problem just call 911.
It's a shame you can't call 911 for the frogs.

nicely, curiously the section which you reside in takes place to be their habitat. Do you reside close to water? you stay in there living house so consequently, you are the intruder. there is possibly been frogs and lizzards there for an prolonged time. I did study someplace approximately using mothballs around the exterior of your place & that could shop them from attempting to get into your place. placed them around the principles, at your door, etc. Mothballs are rather effectual in preserving a superb variety of distinctive critters away.

Unfortunaately I don't live where there are toads and lizards. But I could sure use a few to eat the insects. They are regular insect eating machines. Good luck.

At least they know their job, and stay outside doing it. Bugs dont care where they work.
