Green Tree frogs

I live in the south and have been kept awake several nights because of these
treefrogs. I also have a large Koi pond. I thought they were just reg. frogs
at first and was relocating some of the frogs to a natural pond a couple
miles up the road to cut down on noise. At night about 845 that loud frog
noise will start up again. Flash light in hand I finally seen them. Its not
the frogs I thought it was. These are tiny green treefrogs. Theres quite a
few out there. I tried to catch some but their to fast and at night you
can't see them. They hide during the day. I can't find them. They will croke
all night though. I live in a subdivision also and am worried the neighbors
are going to start complaining about the noise.
Any suggestions? Can the neighbors file a complaint about this. Its really
loud. Here is the sound that the frogs make, times it several times. It
actually hurts your ears out by the pond.

I have nothing to play a RAM (?) file so couldn't listen to it. Yes,
neighbors can file complaints if the frogs start to drive them batty and
keep them awake at night - in most areas. Were the frogs there before your
pond, or did your pond bring the frogs? I don't think anyone would be too
thrilled to be kept awake at night by any kind of noise........

That's a hard question. And it will depend on
your city attorney. But here in my town we had
the city attorney write a ponder to get rid of
her frogs.

The breeding cycle for some frogs can be short.
Have you looked them up on the web to learn more
about them? Enter your state, the words native
amphibians on google.com. Know thine enemy.

If your neighbors do complain you could sponsor
a frog catching party.
Have you tried spotlighting them with a flashlight?
You get the frog dazzled with the light and have
someone prod them from behind so they jump into
a fairly close meshed sport fishing net (one that has
a deep dip in it as compared to a flatter koi net).
Twist the net, to tangle the frog up, bring the net
in, turn it so the frog is on his back (should stop
struggling) untangle frog, drop in covered bucket
with an inch of pond water.

A group of ten year old boys are really good at this.

You could try netting the pond so they can't get to
the water and hope they get the hint.

Predators. Hog nosed snakes love frogs. Water snakes
and garter snakes love frogs. Most humans don't love
snakes but when you are desperate.

Cats love to hunt frogs. Herons enjoy them (herons also
enjoy your fish...)

Let us know what hapens as this is an annual question
that appears on rec.ponds.

=====================
We have Treefrogs on our windows every night. They call for awhile, then
quiet down and go after the bugs on the windows. We also have regular green
frogs in our ponds that call and call and call.... but all quiet down by
1:30 to 2 AM. If I close my bedroom windows I don't hear them. The
bullfrogs like our neighbors stock pond for some reason, so when they're
calling to breed they're usually over there. For some reason we have a lot
less frogs and pollywogs this year than in years past.

One man's pleasure is another man's poison.

I would love to sleep to that sound.

Don't get anything like that here in Canada .

Not "there" in Canada :-)

I used to get them in S. Ontario (Tree Frogs, anyway, I don't recall exactly
which one - but I think Green Tree Frogs), and I certainly have tree frogs
here on the Nova Scotia coast. I haven't seen them to verify that they're
the same frog we had in Ontario, but I heard them calling up until I went
on vacation a couple of weeks ago. I only heard a couple of late spring
peepers when I got home yesterday, though, so I don't know if I still have
the tree frogs.
