That's a hard question. And it will depend on
your city attorney. But here in my town we had
the city attorney write a ponder to get rid of
her frogs.

The breeding cycle for some frogs can be short.
Have you looked them up on the web to learn more
about them? Enter your state, the words native
amphibians on google.com. Know thine enemy.

If your neighbors do complain you could sponsor
a frog catching party.
Have you tried spotlighting them with a flashlight?
You get the frog dazzled with the light and have
someone prod them from behind so they jump into
a fairly close meshed sport fishing net (one that has
a deep dip in it as compared to a flatter koi net).
Twist the net, to tangle the frog up, bring the net
in, turn it so the frog is on his back (should stop
struggling) untangle frog, drop in covered bucket
with an inch of pond water.

A group of ten year old boys are really good at this.

You could try netting the pond so they can't get to
the water and hope they get the hint.

Predators. Hog nosed snakes love frogs. Water snakes
and garter snakes love frogs. Most humans don't love
snakes but when you are desperate.

Cats love to hunt frogs. Herons enjoy them (herons also
enjoy your fish...)

Let us know what hapens as this is an annual question
that appears on rec.ponds.
