The bufo are attracted to water, any kind of water feature like a pond, no matter how small. Not sure about swimming pools, don't think chlorine is their friend.
I have posted this before -- if you want to kill them, it is easy to do with a Windex sprayer filled with Parsons ammonia, undiluted. One spritz and even a large bufo will be dead when you awake.
I discovered this when chasing coqui. There were a bunch of bufo out and I spritzed some. In the morning, a bunch of dead toads. My cats know to leave the toads alone after 7-8 years of co-existing with a large toad population, but I have read that dogs don't necessarily learn the lesson.
Your best weapon against bufo is the BB-MA10 annihilator equipped with a net. Short for Bloodthirsty Boy Mental Age 10 (exact age irrelevant). I borrowed one and the results were astounding. Captured hundreds within a short time. Then the problem is what to do with the toads.
Recommend borrowing or renting the BB-MA10 short term only, as it is a high maintenance tool.
