Frogs

Hello everyone. Just wanted to ask if many of you get frogs in your gardens. I know that they are good for getting rid of slugs but I am petrified of them, they totally give me the creeps which stops me doing a lot of the gardening. Is there anything you can use to deter frogs from your garden? I would be grateful to hear if you know of anything.

frogs

not sure there is a way of keeping frogs out of your garden, not sure why you should want them out of garden....
They eat so many slugs etc...If one of your neighbours has a pond then they will always be about...as they do travel about!!! you should be glad your not in Oz as they have some really large toads over there!!!!
