Hey there, my froggy-fearing friend! So, let’s talk about a big problem… frogs in your pool. Yep, those little green jumpy dudes think your pool is their new home. And honestly? They are not paying rent! If you’re tired of feeling like you’re living in a nature documentary every time you dive in to chill, I gotchu. Here are some super funny tips to keep those amphibious parties away from your backyard oasis!
Step One: Build a Frog Fence
First things first, you need to set up a frog fence. But not just any fence—let’s make it look nice too! Get some garden netting or something that looks fancy. Frogs are like “Oh snap! This place looks too posh for me.” And then they’ll hop right back into the woods where they belong.
Step Two: Remove Their Party Supplies
Frogs love it when you leave lights on at night. So turn off those bright lights that call them like moths to a flame. It’s like a neon sign saying “Frog Pool Party Here!” Just imagine a bunch of frogs showing up with tiny sunglasses and beach balls—no thanks!
Step Three: Get Rid of Their Water Sources
If there are puddles near your pool, guess what? Frogs will love it even more than pizza! Make sure to drain any standing water around your yard. No puddles means no froggies feeling all comfy-cozy! You can even tell them “sorry dudes” while pouring out the water! Maybe they’ll get the hint?
Step Four: Use Frog Repellents
And here’s where it gets real zesty. Find some natural frog repellents! Some folks swear by using vinegar or ammonia mixed with water. Just spray it around the pool area and those frogs will be bouncing right outta there! Just remember, if someone catches you doing this, don’t explain—you’ll just sound weird talking about “frog repellents.”
Step Five: Put Up Fake Predators
You know how people use owls to scare away rodents? Well, do the same with frogs but use fake snakes or alligators. I mean come on, can you picture a frog meeting a plastic snake? That frog would yell “NOPE!” and hop right back to its lilypad ASAP.
Step Six: Have Regular Frog Auditions
Next time you see one of them hopping near the pool, hold an audition for your own frog band called “Jumpin’ Invasion.” Offer them snacks like flies (better be quick tho) and when they come close to audition for the roles of “Pool Bad Guys,” just shoo them away instead. They’ll think twice before showing up again!
Step Seven: Hold A Family Meeting
Gather everyone in your family and tell them they have been officially recruited as “Frog Patrol” members. Give each person assignments like “frog watch” during pool time or “froggy deterrent leader.” Everyone loves playing pretend cops while keeping unwanted guests out, right? Plus you’ll get great bonding time—just watch out because laughter may ensue each time someone says “STOP right there!”
