Regards to spraying with ammonia? I use 1/2 bleach and 1/2 water! Works just fine too, set the spray to streamline and BAMM! [:0]Hit em in the head! They get bugged eyed and flay their little arms. Hop around, then lay still. Its my nightly hunting routing, especially around the back door and windows. I have a coqui kill board now too on my shed. Use a stamp pad and frog stamp. Up to about 50 little stamps! My hubby thinks I am nuts. Yea. I am. [

This might be a good place for a reminder on the dangers of mixing ammonia and bleach. It creates chlorine gas = very bad for you = don't do it.

So, 1/2 bleach and 1/2 water along with a BB gun... should work. But the plants might not survive.

Use 2 squirt bottles, one with ammonia, the other with bleach. Mix 'em "on the frog".

YOu know what? I lived on a lake in IL for 5 years and the migrating geese drove me crazy. Every fall and spring they would hit our lake in the hundreds and you could not hear yourself think let alone sleep. I got a BB Gun and tried to scare them. It only worked when they were landing. I made recordings of geese in distress and blasted them on my loud speakers out on the decks. It worked ... only when they were landing. I got spotlights and shined them on the geese, it only made them mad. We got swans which are territorial and that kept the numbers in check a bit... but still they came. I feel like these frogs are the same kind of pests... freaks of nature, products of global warming or some strange kind of freakish situation. The frogs made their way onto the island... illegally yes, but they are here. We must find a way to quickly eliminate them.
There is another danger coming... the honey bee mite. Yes, we are headed for a disaster in that realm. The first mites have been detected near Hilo airport. This devisataed the honey bees on the mainland in the last 4 years and it is on the island now.
BEWARE of these pests. But let's rid ourselves of them in an organic way when possible.

I stick to citric acid - not harmful to people or plants. And then only if I can't find them or can't reach them. Shooting them keeps it interesting but really I should just be trying to grab them, that way you know for sure you've got them.

These buggers are gross. I once thought they were cute. Maybe we can catch them and sell them to Japan as high quality, singing no mainentance pets.
What do THEY eat anyway???
