Craig Sawyers Posted January 21, 2011 Report Posted January 21, 2011 Go with the snakes. Snakes in a pool.
mypasswordis Posted January 21, 2011 Report Posted January 21, 2011 Frogs have not done well since the introduction of the contraceptive pill. Women who take the pill have high levels of estrogen in their urine, which gets into the waterways and turns male frogs female. Sounds like these boys have found a haven for frog masculinity. Let them have some fun first before you exterminate them. Trace amounts of estrogen along with other stuff like ibuprofen and antibiotics have been found in drinking water, and then there is the growth hormones in various meats...
manaox2 Posted January 21, 2011 Report Posted January 21, 2011 Giant pain free horny frogs with an extreme immunity to bacteria.... FUUUUUUUUuuuu
Dusty Chalk Posted January 21, 2011 Report Posted January 21, 2011 I wish! You can't see them, and as soon as you get close, they stop making noise. Right until you go away. Anyway, here's a photo of the problem by Moonlight. Jesus, dude, that looks like a horror movie waiting to happen. Start filming and find a director and some hot teens stat.
aerius Posted January 21, 2011 Report Posted January 21, 2011 A couple sticks of dynamite ought to do the trick, if that fails follow it up with a wheelbarrow full of ANFO.
Jon L Posted January 27, 2011 Author Report Posted January 27, 2011 I (wisely) stayed away from the dynamite idea, but did make use of a submersible sump pump, which pumped for DAYS to get rid of most of the water. It seems to have worked with frogs so far, though I did hear them a little bit today..
deepak Posted January 27, 2011 Report Posted January 27, 2011 That is one mighty fine lookin' swimmin' hole right derr
NightWoundsTime Posted January 27, 2011 Report Posted January 27, 2011 Good show. My grandparents had an equally neglected above ground pool that a neighbor abandoned. Luckily all it takes to drain an above ground, and keep it empty, is a good sharp knife. @Al, nice pick with the Triplets of Belleville scene. Problem is I can't even think about that movie without getting the song stuck in my head. It's so catchy but so much more very French.
Jon L Posted March 23, 2011 Author Report Posted March 23, 2011 (edited) Aarrrhhgg! After the recent rains, the frogs are back, and it's mating season in Spring, and these frogs croak mostly through the night, especially 3-5 AM! I can't sleep, and sometimes even with earplugs on Sample audio/video below: http://vimeo.com/21381294 Edited March 23, 2011 by Jon L
The Monkey Posted March 23, 2011 Report Posted March 23, 2011 I am cracking up after having just watched that video. This thread rocks. Poison the little fuckers.
aerius Posted March 23, 2011 Report Posted March 23, 2011 Go to a garden supply store or use the 'net to order up a couple gallons of Malathion concentrate. Dump a gallon in the pool and give everything else in the yard a thorough spraydown.
Jon L Posted March 23, 2011 Author Report Posted March 23, 2011 (edited) I am cracking up after having just watched that video. This thread rocks. Poison the little fuckers. I would think it was funny, too, if it wasn't so painful during the night. Researching the issue, I'm very close to conjuring up some sort of bleach or pesticide solution and spraying the whole back yard, multiple times. Edited March 23, 2011 by Jon L
falkon Posted May 10, 2011 Report Posted May 10, 2011 How did this end up working out anyway? I'm very curious.
Jon L Posted May 10, 2011 Author Report Posted May 10, 2011 The abandoned house was just sold to an investor through foreclosure auction. Due to the fact the rains have stopped and summer coming, frogs can no longer habitate this dry hole in the ground. I understate the investor is considering just filling the hole vs. finishing the pool before selling the house.. IMG_0624 by drjlo2, on Flickr
