Dear Forumers,my House recently "Invaded" by alot of Toads...any Way to get Rid of them.?Because they too Noisy at Night.

destiny calls.... this is where you embrace your toadness and learnt some long lost kong fu.

Any way... its been a long time since i heard a frog or toad, last time when rainy season, would hear them and find tadpoles in puddles, kinda missed those days.

I ask chatgpt:

"Alright — in Singapore, toads (usually the Asian common toad, Duttaphrynus melanostictus) can be a bit annoying around landed properties, especially if you have a garden, pond, or damp areas.
Here’s a practical, safe, and humane way to manage them:

Step 1: Remove Attractants

Eliminate standing water: Toads breed in still water. Empty trays, pots, buckets, and cover drains if possible.

Reduce insect population: Toads eat insects, so reducing lights at night (which attract bugs) will help.

Clean up the garden: Remove dense vegetation, leaf litter, and hiding spots. Toads love damp, dark areas.

Step 2: Block Entry Points

Seal gaps: Close up holes in fences and walls around the property.

Install fine mesh or netting: At garden entrances or drains.

Step 3: Use natural repellents

Vinegar spray: You can spray diluted vinegar around areas you want to keep them away from. It irritates their skin, so they’ll avoid it.

Salt barrier: Can work, but be cautious as it can harm your plants and soil.

Coffee grounds: Some people scatter used coffee grounds in the garden — it has a mild deterrent effect.

Step 4: Relocate (if you spot them)

Safely capture the toad with gloves (they can secrete mild toxins), place it in a bucket, and release it in a more natural area (like near a wooded area away from residential zones).
Note: In Singapore, toads are not protected species, but it's good to relocate them humanely.

Step 5: Professional help

If it’s a recurring issue, consider contacting NEA-licensed pest control. They can do safe relocation or management.

Would you like me to also give you a few "home remedies" or ways to deter them naturally without harming your plants? There are a few things Singapore gardeners swear by! 🌿"

Wah lan eh, Chat GPT arh??

My pond was thought to be invaded by toads too. Then I realized that if you throw them out, they come back in no time. Finally, I recognized it is just 4 of them. When you throw them out, they come back in no time. 3 times, me and my friend throw them outside the gate and 30 mins, they are back at the inside of the gate.

So, what I did was I really pushed 2 of the small ones into the drain hole where they probably cannot get their way up and 2 of them were thrown into the garden area about 100m away and they never come back again. 

Maybe soon rain is here more often, and I will have to deal with them again. And I will do the same way

Toad is 癞蛤蟆, usually brown in color and rough skin.

Frog is 青蛙, usually green in color and smooth skin.
