Default Toads: Build it, they will come.

Patience is the only resource we know.

Build it, they will come.

Wait, they will go.

Wait longer, the tadpoles grow to toadlets.

Result, you have fewer bugs and chop more toads when you mow.

The last few nights have seen an increase in vocal activity around our

pond.
Last night, it started to lose its beauty about 3 AM. I went out and in a
matter of 2 minutes counted a dozen and a half gulf coast toads (Houston,
TX). This morning the hornwort is covered with strings of eggs. On the one
hand this would indicate a healthy environment. On the other it likely
indicates that we will be inundated with toads. Any natural suggestions

for
toad and tadpole control?

Thanks, John
