No boo hiss from here though our Jack Russells might have a different pov.
However, if frogs are coming into your garden, I think it's because they
expect to find somewhere in which to breed. Perhaps a pond has been filled
in, in the past? Frogs and toads return to their old spawning grounds
which
is why they're in need of help from us who can make ponds for them.
Without wishing to be too intrusive, why would it be so hard to put in a
small wildlife pond with a few plants for frogs and toads to which they
will
attach their spawn? My daughter has a small garden but has put in a
pre-formed fishpond and a pre-formed wildlife pond, both of 1000 gallons
and
both with plants in them. Already, she has found one desperate-for-water
toad making his way to one of them. The wildlife pond has a shallowly
formed ramp to enable the amphibians to get out and both have gentle pumps
aerating the water. Sorry to harp on about this but it's not too hard to
make a pond and give the beasties a refuge from the cat!

We are surprisingly frogless round here inspite of having large pond,
stream and canal adjacent.
No cats either.
I suspect that my 100+ goldfish in the pond and the 1000+ course fish in
the canal leave no space for mr froggies lifecycle.
