Default Frogs in ponds

Right now I have a container of 11 tree frogs to relocate 3 miles from
my house. I *HATE* tree frogs - they are extremely loud and obnoxious.
Fortunately they are fairly easy to catch but they only come out at
night. I have a headstrapped flashlight and a handheld flashlight.
When I hear them squawking I go out and find them. Usually when found
you can just snatch them up fairly easily especially if you keep a
light pointed at their eyes. As punishment I take them to my screened
in porch and let my cats play with them until I put them into their
container. The cats don't hurt them, and it gives me a bit of
satisfaction.

The only thing my pond attracts that sounds worse than a tree frog is
toads, but I've only had 1 night of toads in the pond. They are slow
and extremely easy to catch.
