Hi John,

I am a second year ponder. Last year when i saw a million tadpoles, i
thought there would be toads everywhere. Well, there isn't. Apparently
the birds get their share of babies. I wouldn't worry about it.

OR, you could take some of the unwanted bullfrogs in this group.

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
