The postal service said it was delivered to my mailbox but it never arrived. I wish I could say I love it but I will never know.
I have two in my pool area and ever since I have had them there have never been anymore dead frogs.
Have used Frog log for at least 3yrs now and just had to replace them do to wear and tear. So worth it if you care about saving the little creatures that happen to fall into your pool
We have an inground pool and a families of chipmunks. They run around the pool deck chasing each other , and we have had many drown from falling in.
After we installed the Frog Logs (one on each side in the middle of the deep end) we have not lost a single one in over 2 years. WE actually can see them swim to them and get out of the water.
Love it!!
I saved one baby lizard. It was sitting on the pad. We are closing the pool tomorrow so the FrogLog will be nicely packed away until next summer. Thank you for suggesting this cute little lifesaver.
Normally, I’d scoop frogs out of our pool with a net but using the FrogLog, I no longer think about doing that. Any frogs that find their way into the pool now have an easy way out. I’ve seen several just hanging out on the FrogLog so it gives me comfort knowing they aren’t caught in the skimmer baskets or in the drain.
At my last count, the FrogLog has saved seven frogs/toads and one garden snake. And those are just the animals I have seen. We love this thing!
Every inground pool should have one. No more bugs or animals since!
I have several Frog Logs and must say they are much better than the copy cats -- I'd like to point out a few features that make Frog Logs better.
Frog Log does not ride high out of the water (the 'wall" from the skirt to the log surface is not challenging - so things that find it dont have to climb as high to get out of the water onto the log). I think that whatever climbs up onto the Frog Log is tired and 'grateful' by the time they find one.
Closure for the bladder float is constructed with the opening DOWN in the water and the velcro closure goes almost all the way across the opening leaving no inviting gap. The copy cats have a closure facing up out of the water with gaps at either end of the velcro and small critters (I save beetles and spiders as well as frogs / toads/ mice etc) see the dark gap opening and crawl in thinking it safe - only to be trapped inside between the bladder and the cover. SO DEPRESSING. Frog Logs are constructed so that this particular thing does not happen - a much happier outcome.
Frog Logs hold up summer after summer. The material does not easily degrade in the sun and rip
Side note in case helpful.... I turn off the filter / skimmer pump for the pool at night so the water is calm and turn it on every morning after I have skimmed / inspected each of the frog logs. Algae normally needs sunlight to grow - and so, turning the pump off at night for the water to calm does not seem to be detrimental for the pool clarity at all. A calm pool surface makes it easier for something small to swim to a Frog Log.
Anyway - those are the reasons I like Frog Log far better than the copy cats. Frog Logs are way more effective. and much better made. I add more logs every year - not because mine need replacing, but because more of them allows me shorten the distance between them and increases the chance something that falls in will be able to find / reach one.
We've had our Frog Logs for nearly two months now. Since purchasing, we have not had a dead frog or toad in the pool, and we have about a dozen toads hanging out on our pool deck every evening. Some of them even crawl down it to sit on the pad to catch insects.
The Original FrogLog: Camo-NEW PRODUCT! IN STOCK NOW
I live in rural Arizona. Snakes, squirrels, toads, moles, rats, scorpions, tarantulas, and birds. Used to have one dead animal a day floating in the pool or in the skimmer. Now closer to one a month. Worth it for sure.
I’ve use four Frog Logs lin my pool. I was finding way too many lizards drowned, so I thought I’d give them a shot. Since then, I’ve still found two or three very small lizards (babies) but no more large lizards. I’m not sure if it’s because of the Frog Logs or because I’ve run out of lizards. It’s also in the middle of summer, when the lizards are not as active. I’d probably have to use these a full season or two to know if they work. It’s worth a try though.
It only took one dead frog in the skimmer for me to purchase a frog log! While we’ve still had a fatality (a very small frog who I believe couldn’t fight the current), I believe this product has saved lives because we have definitely seen more frogs swimming that don’t end up in the skimmer!
We've been using the ORIGINAL FrogLog for over 5 years, and there's no way to estimate the number of wildlife lives that have benefited from its presence in our pool. Before we found the Original FrogLog, I was finding animals like bullfrogs, toads, baby turtles, baby rabbits, mice, voles, and songbirds dead or drowning in our pool, one or two a day, and then one day, 22 toads and frogs on the same day. That was the day I found our first Original FrogLog, and we bought two. The Original FrogLog provides the most economical and efficient means to prevent the deaths of these animals, and helps keep our pool environment healthier for people. We just purchased our second pair, they last a long time, too, with excellent quality, workmanship and materials. 10/10 recommend the ORIGINAL FrogLog, not the cheaper knock-offs.
The fabric that encases the float degrades in sunlight. Suggest research into a more sun tolerant fabric.
The FrogLog is an ingenious design and easy to put together. Our pool is 12 feet by 26 feet. I have two, one sits just upstream of the filter and the other is on the opposite side. I bought them because earlier this summer I fished a chipmunk out of the pool. It was exhausted and soaked, and it took about 20 minutes to recover and scuttle away. I started looking for solutions and found the FrogLog. I don't know if ours have saved any animals, but I have not found any in the pool since we put them in place. I wish we had had them for the 25 years we have lived here. They might have saved some chipmunks, frogs, and moles. It gives you peace of mind that your pool is not harming the local small wildlife. If you are thinking about buying one, you should go ahead!
I took to the web in search of a way to save little critters that reach their demise in our pool and I found Frog Log. I bought four of these for our pool and placed them all around. They have definitely helped though there is the occasional frog that will end up in the skimmer but this is far and few between now. I had a problem with one of the bladder inserts and reached out to Frog Log and he responded very quick and had his manufacturer send me a new one. I have noticed there are products like the original on amazon and other sites for less money but I want quality and also want to support the maker of the idea so I order from Frog Log site itself. Thank you for making a product to help save little creature lives because it hurts my heart when I see them dead in the skimmers.
I had bought a Original FrogLog years ago and also had picked up a knock off version. No surprise the Original FrogLog still was in great shape,and the knockoff trashed. So I bought two more of the Original FrogLog
Only buy this original frog log....it will last and works great. I haven't woke up to anything dead in my pool this Summer!
Our FrogLog has not only saved countless frogs in our pool, it also saved a group of 10 ducklings whose mother took them for a swim in the deep end but then had no way of exiting the pool. It is a true life saver!
The original FrogLog is great! We’ve used these for about 5 years now & don’t have frogs, lizards, etc. swimming in the pool each morning like we did before the FrogLog. Easy to assemble & last about 2 seasons in the hot FL sun.
After seeing several baby ducks die because they couldn’t find a way out of my pool, I ordered two Frog Logs. They are life savors to not only frogs, but other wild life.
