Thanks, but if indeed the pond is attracting toads, I think that would be an
endless battle. Bufo toads are all over S. Florida; people find them in
their yards all the time and it's common for dogs to die from licking or
biting them, especially small dogs. Happened to one of my pastor's dogs
recently.

I don't know if the presence of a pond (or any body of water like a swimming
pool) attracts them, or if its just coincidental that I've never seen one in
the yard before I built the pond. Of course, they could have been here and I
just never saw them. But I'm not sure its worth taking the chance.

Anyone out there know if ponds are an attraction to these toads?
