Hi Tony!

Is there anything that I can do to make them (frogs) leave and not come
back.

Not really. You have provided them with food, cover and reproduction
opportunities. A frog single's club ;-)
Frogs will return to their home pond if they can. So the more spawn you remove
the less likely they will be to come back.
Remove any frog spawn and transfer it to a nearby natural body of water.
Predators will take care of frogs but many of them will eat fish also.
You can try netting the pond but they will still come, hang around and do their
courting. They just don't have much common sense, frogs. But that might keep
the spawn out of the pond and you won't have returning babies the next year.
And you can catch as many frogs as you can and escort them off to the nearby
natural body of water. Spotlight them at night.
Someday I suspect that messing with frogs' reproduction will come under some
sort of protection. It's only a matter of time.

Good luck!
