We also had those nasty buffo toads in Ft Lauderdale in our lawn, and would take a spray bottle of vinegar ( ? or ammonia ? … not sure ) with us when out with our dog. Spraying their backs would stop them dead……the bigger the toad, the more spray was needed. We’d then scoop them up for garbage can. Thank goodness we have yet to see one in TV.
