cane toads and dogs

[csgray]

Freezing is an easy bloodless way to dispatch toads, frogs, and snails. Grab them with a recycled plastic bag, turn it inside out so the critter is on the inside, and pop it into the freezer for 12 hours. Tossing them into a neighboring lot does little, they can travel far and fast. They like pet food, so we make sure we don't leave bowls out with partly eaten kibble. They also like our little solar path lights, because they attract bugs.

There is a really funny video called "the Cane Toad, an Unnatural History" or something similar, that I saw in a biogeography class in college. It has a lot of good information on how they poison things, along with a very Australian humorous twist on things.
