Hello. I am fairly new to the gardening scene and I am really enjoying
myself. However, I do not do well with bugs and other creepy crawlers. I
am noticing a lot of small frogs. Is there any type of repellent I can use
for hopping creatures?

Thank You.

A heron will take care of the frogs and chickens will take care of the
"bugs".

Travis, if she doesn't do well with tiny creatures, she's hardly
likely to welcome a heron which could peck her eyes out and does great
big poops which smell of decomposed frogs.

You actually want to keep frogs. They eat alot of bugs and are totally
harmless to vegetation.

I don't know of any repellents, only natural ones. Remove ponds and wet
areas and they'll move on. Snakes eat frogs but then you're adding
another creepy crawler.

No, the snakes aren't the first step. First, she'll need special lizards. THEN, to wipe out the
lizards, she'll need to unleash wave after wave of Chinese needle snakes. Then she'll need a
fabulous type of gorilla that thrives on snake meat. The beautiful part is that when wintertime
rolls around, the gorillas simply freeze to death.

The bad news is, when they defrost in spring they smell terrible. You
can hardly sit out on the terrace drinking tea for the stink of rotting
gorilla-flesh and the horrible buzz of the flies feeding on it. That's
whan you remember that frogs eat flies, and wish you had some.

Excellent, Janet, you really do follow the thought through to the end!

Frogs tend to be numerous on their way to seasonal breeding ponds, then
disperse again very thinly over an extensive area; then baby frogs are
numerous upon emerging from the ponds, but will soon dwindle in numbers
from dispersal & predation. It's almost always temporary that they are
numerous. The worst I've seen it was when Western toads emerged from ponds
& lakes, wee toads about one-inch long migrating en masse on rainy
evening, so thick that peoples' lawns were totally covered. But three days
later you had to look hard to find even one.

Frogs are harmless and under threat these days. I know that they are cold
and sticky and icky but you don't need to touch them. Leave them alone and
they will leave you alone. Also they will assist by eating several sorts of
bugs. If you can get past the bad press they have got in folklore frogs can
be quite beautiful and interesting.

Some of them have beautiful eyes. And the best part is that they don't bark
all night like my neighbor's fuquing dog.
