Tiny Toad Invasion
We have hundreds of tiny toads in our grass and all around the outside of our house. Is this a normal Florida thing? Will they go away???

We live near a preserve and we had a deluge of little frogs the first year in this new house (a couple of years ago) and they seemed eager to hop inside the front door when it was opened. But haven't seen them again.

If they're little and green....tree frogs.
Very plentiful (and very noisy) this time of year.

we have a pond behind us. Thousands of frogs of all types singing all summer long! looking for love, I expect.
And we always have those frogs that sound like barking dogs, too.

Up at our neighborhood pool, I've heard the ones that sound like small dogs barking.

Frogs are a sign of a healthy environment!

They are definitely toads and not frogs and while I appreciate them being bug eaters I think we need to move up a notch on the food chain and find a critter who needs a few tiny toads to dine on. We live in Lake Deaton on a pond. Between blind Mosquitos and tiny toads I'm beginning to think I live in Egypt!

Don't live there yet (moving ~ July) but these are a good sign. Like the previous poster, a sign of a healthy environment AND insect control.

Thank you Mother Nature for sending me lizards and millipedes, not frogs.

While walking my friends dog I heard what sounded like two small dogs barking away. it was very laud and stopped when I got closer so I didn't know which house it was really coming from. Well last night, while walking, it didn't stop and it turns out it's coming from the water sewer pipe. I think it gets magnified, lol I could hear it more faintly from other openings further down the street. Glad I realized it was frogs and not dogs down there or I'd be a wreck.

Little frogs
We were inundated with tiny frogs the 1st 3 years here. Don't think they were toads. From spring through summer there would be about a hundred in close proximity to garage and front door. Occasionally 1 or 2 would get in. Sometimes a challenge to catch to put back outside but overall pretty cute and don't hurt anything. Now we only see a couple every now and then.
