frog in my greenhouse

A frog has taken up residence in a corner of my greenhouse under a
pile of
old pots.
Should I evict him, or can I keep him as a handy organic bug-killer?
My greenhouse is not particularly frogproof, so he could probably
get out,
but I'm also not confident of the brains of frogs - would he
actually have
the sense to find a gap and leave, I wonder, if most of the area was
enclosed?
Frogs seem to me to move largely by random leaps hoping they are
going
roughly in the right direction, but maybe they get nervous when I am
watching them ;-)
If its a toad, they have amazing homing instincts.
I found several in an old wooden shed that I was repairing. I moved
them outside out of harms way, went for a cuppa and when I came back,
they were all back in the original locations.
Accept him. Think of the fortune in slug pellets that he will save
you.
