I gotta relocate this damn frog (1 Viewer)

[AARPSaint]

I want to hear the "landscaper"'s side of the "relocation". I find it quite suspicious that all of sudden there was a need for a "landscaper" in an area that was lush enough for frogs to seek shelter. Fess' up, you whacked it with a 2"x4". Murderer! I'm calling PETA.

I can’t believe you put out a contract hit on the poor frog.

I made my wishes very clear to the landscapers that the frog be relocated.

I may have winked my eye and touched my nose, but my nose was itchy.

I get it now.

Your landscaper is Robert Redford. Uh-huh.

On this subject, does anyone know how to eradicate cuban tree frogs? The amount of sheet I have to clean is ridiculous from these frogs.

If only...

We live not far from a waterway and have some low lying areas nearby. These frogs are so bad. We got a cat and she kills a lot of them, but not enough. They poop on everything and it sticks.

Try to acquire snakes. If that doesn't work, hire landscapers.

3. Euthanizing Treefrogs

Cuban Treefrogs are pests, but they are living animals and should always be treated humanely. We recommend a two-part method to humanely euthanize these frogs and ensure that the method was successful. Remember -- if you are not 100% sure of a frog's identity, do not euthanize it -- Email us photos for help with identification!

• BENZOCAINE - Purchase toothache gel or sunburn or first aid spray containing 20% benzocaine from your local drugstore. Sprays containing 5% lidocaine will also work, but may work a bit more slowly and require a lot more spray. Liberally rub or spray the frog (while it is in a bag, preferably) with the benzocaine. Try not to get the benzocaine in the frog's eyes, as it may cause pain. The frog will become comatose within about a minute, and will soon be euthanized.
• FREEZING - We recommend that you place the treated frog into the freezer for 24 hours to make sure that it is euthanized and will not wake up later in a plastic bag in the garbage. If the frog is not already comatose, it will simply go into a hibernation-like state and never wake up. The benzocaine will ensure that the frog does not feel any pain from freezing.

Note: If you prefer not to euthanize these frogs, you can still participate by removing these frogs from the native environment and caring for them as pets. However, it is important to realize that you cannot release these frogs after you capture them -- doing so is illegal and ecologically irresponsible!
