We have had a pond for about 5 years now and this is the first year we have had frogs - I was delighted cos I have a major slug problem - probably cos I love to grow hostas and delphiniums and thats like prime steak to a slug! If you are really scared of them then get someone to go out before you do and just rattle around a bit where you are going to be working - the frogs in my garden are very shy and hop off to hide whenever we come near!
