Kathie- We also back up to a pond, so that's probably the source. Ya know, I haven't really heard any frogs lately... and we definitely DON'T have any frogs in the streets like we had last year. I remember when it would rain, the streets would be full of frogs & toads, and you would see carcasses of them lying in the roadways, as they would get run over by carts & cars - it was like an amphibian massacre. And my dogs thought they were at a buffet - I would have to watch them like a hawk to make sure they didn't eat any of them!

Perhaps the frogs' demise has caused this swarming to occur? I certainly don't like this particular change to the ecosystem!

I would love to join forces with you in trying to remedy this problem - My neighbors can get pretty vocal too! Who did you call or speak to?
