ROFL Echoes! I thought I was the only one with "gardening toads". The boys have one they "rescued" from their school. It has to be the largest regular old toad I've ever seen! They turned him loose in our courtyard, and there he stays. He loves to come out while I am watering One day I just watered a pot, and went back inside. I went back out a little bit later, and he jumped at me-scared me to death! Then he hopped under the faucet waiting for me to turn it on. We wonder what he's going to do this winter. Hopefully he'll be back next year. Hopefully he'll come back. I wish we had a little pond for tadpoles. Although, it would be heartbreaking to go out and one day have them all gone. I bet you'll be overrun with toads next year! ;o) HW

Guess I am lucky ( yeah right ) but every Cuban Treefrog I encounter, although most are still small, is past the tadpole stage. Therefore I have taken UF's advice and installed the pvc pipes in my backyard. Thought for awhile I was slowly eliminating them but now have so many that I see them jumping out of the lawn as I come by on my riding mower. Am assuming they are CTF's as that's what I mostly find in the pipes. In the case of tiny tadpoles, I would go on the UF's informative website, http://edis.ifas.ufl.edu/uw259 and ask one of their experts. Bottom line, they are as serious about eliminating these disgusting, sex crazed, carnivorous gluttons as we are. Am sure someone will have an answer on how to better identify the tiny guys.

Yes sir I did. I was checking out the reviews on the Vulcan EBF 25 Blaster as a possible present for my nephew. Up pops this little tadpole giving it a two thumbs up. I thinks kids would really like this. Here is a link that might be useful: Little Tadpole

I wish I could help but it's not the right time of year. Any local drainage will soon fill from the rains, keep your eye out and you can harvest a bunch. Good luck, I keep a frog pond in my yard, all I have is adult tree frogs and bullfrogs.
