I also ran into another couple playing golf who described having to sell their house because it would be covered with tree frogs each morning. The man described not being able to see out thru their sliding doors and not being able to open the garage door because they were "covered" with tree frogs (the ones with the suction cups on their feet) each morning.

That's the bad news. The good news is that one of the neighbors living nearby the couple near Havana CC--a retired Army officer--recommended a sure thing solution to the bull frog problem. He recommended a couple of hand grenades to permanently put a frog in the throats of the bull frogs. Hah! Nothing like a good old practical GI solution to a problem.

There was a "storm" of frogs around the doors of our home a couple of years ago for two or three weeks and I haven't seen any since.

It is a mystery.
