FrogLog FAQs

1. Use a swimming pool animal escape device such as the FrogLog.
2. Use a pool cover, especially at night, to reduce, but not eliminate, frog access to pools. Small
animals will still crawl under the cover. In addition to a cover, install an animal escape device.
3. Install a solid wooden fence around the pool to reduce animal access. Install metal flashing or
screen around the base of a chain link or open picket fence to reduce amphibian access.

Make sure the back edge of the float is tight to the wall of the pool. Place the FrogLogs
upstream of the flow of water toward the skimmer intakes. Make sure the FrogLogs are always
in the pool at night when most animals are active. Make sure the correct number of units are
used based on the size of your pool. Cycle the pump to go off at night if possible.

Amphibians (frogs, toads, salamanders) have permeable skin. Chlorine or salt will enter the
bloodstream of amphibians through their permeable skin. Chlorine and salt are toxic to
amphibians. Therefore, minimizing exposure time to chlorinated or salt water is important.

Very small amphibians are very sensitive to chlorine. Adding several FrogLog units will reduce
exposure time to chlorinated water and increase the chances of survival.

The FrogLog has not been tested on rabbits. It has been tested on mice, squirrels, chipmunks
and many other small animals. However, we have reports from several customers about not
finding rabbits in their pool after adding FrogLogs. We have also received photos of small
rabbits resting on the FrogLog.

Yes. Running the pump and filter during the day is the best option. Daytime is when the water
needs filtering due to the growth of algae and the oils and lotions that get into the water from
swimmers. Most animals are active at night. If you use FrogLogs and run the pump and filter at
night, animals may get drawn into the skimmer intake before finding a FrogLog.

The FrogLog can be placed anywhere around the pool deck and offers a quick escape route for
animals. Multiple FrogLog units can be placed around the pool to ensure animals escape
quickly. The Critter Skimmer is an escape ramp that is placed inside the skimmer intake.
Animals have to enter the skimmer to escape. Unfortunately, animals could be exhausted or
dead by the time they enter the skimmer. The FrogLog and Critter Skimmer can be used
together, especially if the pump and filter are run at night.

A PVC repair kit can be used to repair holes in the bladder. Also, we offer replacement
bladders.
