i live in florida and it had been raining this past week.

each night, as i head to bed, i would hear these annoying loud cries.
i came out to investigate and saw frogs near my pond. tiny yellowish ones.
i think there are more, and the noise is really freaking annoying and loud.

my question is:

a) anyone with the same experience?
b) do frogs cry this loud at night?
c) and what are measures to get rid of the frogs?

i've got neighbors and, although they haven't said anything, i'm sure
they're wondering where this nightly noise is coming from.

The only way to get rid of frogs around your pond, is to fill the pond with
dirt instead of water. Less Algae problems that way too. Seriously, if you
have frogs showing up at the pond, you know that you have a nice healthy
body of water. You built it, nature has come.

Yes, bullfrogs talk ALL summer long, ALL night long...
Yes, frogs are courting, the one with the most obnoxious croak and most
impressive vocal sack gets the female. Males can be very focused this way
(speaking of the mother to two teenage males).
and no, not really much you can do to get rid of frogs.

You can try moving the frog spawn out of your pond as frogs who grow up in your
pond are likely to return next year. And you can try catching the frogs
(spotlight them at night) and remove the courting couples.
Remove spawn and frogs to a nearby natural body of water.
But more frogs will come.
What works is ear plugs, running a fan at night for 'white noise' or filling in
the pond.

My Bull has not started yet. My greens are quieting down. It's the dern
toads that are getting out of control. There is one in my neighbor's pond,
and two in my other neighbor's yard. Non in my pond yet. Loud little
buggers.

ACK! Since the rain started, they're driving me NUTS (not that they have
that far to *drive*, ya know what I mean???) Try this site:
http://www.nwf.org/frogwatchUSA/frog...state=fl#frogs

For starters, try the Cuban Tree frogs, the Green Tree frogs, and the
Southern Toad (the ones that seen to be particularly active right now). This
site has .wav files that give the "cry" of each particular species, so you
should be able to identify your culprit. Not that it will do you any GOOD,
but at least you'll know who's making the racket G!

Don't worry at the rate that amphibians are going extinct or dying off,
there won't be any frogs left in north america in the near future. Serves
those slimy critters right for not being cute and fury.

It's not like anyone believes those crazy tree huggers that increased rates
of mutated frogs is a warning sign of increased pollution levels, UV
radiation or other changes in the environment. We ponders know that frogs
are loud and annoying, and welcome their rapid extinction.

If the noise from the frogs increase, just spray pesticide concentrate
around the pond, so when the frogs come, they'll die from the pesticide. Do
your part to save this country from slimy amphibians, then you can enjoy a
quiet evening by the pond with no frogs or bugs.

Oh, it's not a myth, it's been warming for about 13,000 years now,
since the last ice age.
http://www.21stcenturysciencetech.co...s/Ice_Age.html

There were several cycles before that in which the earth got warmer,
cooler, warmer, cooler, etc.

Of course, we -humans- are responsible -this- time around... most
especially the USA, as we are the root of all evil, Chernobyl aside.
No one else pollutes or uses resources at all.

Looong before the "recent" ice age cycles, there pretty much weren't
any polar ice caps, the average global temp was much higher than now,
the central part of the current USA was underwater, as was present-day
Florida. This lasted several tens of millions of years.

Our current accelerated warming trend has lasted a couple of hundred
years. Judging from previous cycles, it's going to get a lot hotter.

Articles like this crack me up.
http://www.nsc.org/ehc/minute/em971128.htm
Let's see, the sun is getting hotter and has been for some time. The
earth is getting hotter too. Well, the two together could obviously be
a problem. (Does anyone else catch the irony here?)

I wonder if the dinosaurs ever convinced themselves that they were the
cause of global cooling...

actually, scientist have found a pathogen that infects the eggs and causes the
mutations seen. May have nothing to do with pollution. Ingrid

Mike,

What a bunch of left wing sensationialist horse pucky.
When the Volcano went up in the Philippines a couple
of years ago it through into the air the equivalent
pollution of all the pollution create by humans since
the industrial revolution. Mt. St. Helens polluted to
the tune of 3/4 of the amount of the Philapino volcano.

So now we have had equivalent of all the human
pollution spewed in the atmosphere since the 18th
century, virtually twice in last twenty years. And
that is just two volcanoes, there are a number of
volcanoes that are spewing pollution on a daily basis,
not as dramatic as the ones mention, but the equivalent
of about 20,000 cars a day.

The other gentleman is right that global warming is
nothing but a sham.

Now my question is how is it possible that you can even
remotely blame the U.S. for this problem.
