Tree Frog in Bathroom, anyone?
We woke up this morning to find a tree frog walking on my bathroom mirror. It was as big as my fist and had little suckers on its feet... hence, walking all over my bathroom mirror and walls. It also left water on my floor where it jumped out of the toilet!!! Anyone else experience frogs coming in through their toilet?

Check for broken/missing sewer pipe cover
Outside, fairly close to the house, approximately level with the ground or mulch you may find a broken or missing cover to the white PVC 4 inch sewer pipe. I think they can also get in from the plumbing vent on the roof.

I have heard of snakes coming up through the pipes though, not something I'd like to have happen at 3:00am in the morning!

Keep your toilet lid down, and they won't get out of the toilet...

place screen over the bathroom vents on the roof and secure with Ty-Rap® cable ties. Cheap, easy, and maybe even better than the items sold in stores that may still let small pests through openings. |

Toilet lids SHOULD be down!

Oh, yeah??? There's plenty of room for a frog to get out of the toilet between the seat and the toilet itself, but keep the lid down anyway. Looking into that abyss is gross!

Snakes are another whole ballgame for me! How do you prevent them from coming in at all and how do they come through the pipes? |

I would just point out that, just because you saw the frog in the toilet, does not mean that it came into the house through the sewer pipe or vent. Frogs, insects, and other animals will naturally seek out sources of water in the house. So, the frog may have entered the house somewhere else and found a water source in the toilet. A frog could swim through the toilet P-trap to enter, but it is not likely.

Have snowbird friends who were up north. They always cover commode with Saran wrap. Went to check on their house one day and a small tree frog was swimming around in it.

Can it sing?
Reminesent of that old bugs bunny cartoon. " Hello my baby, hello my darling......... Tree frogs are actually Toads. Frogs live in and around water. Toads are land critters. No way they went thru the plumbing. |
