I have 2 of these in my small pool. I find fewer dead frogs, but still find some :(
Hi Melanie,
Thanks for reviewing the FrogLog. Here are a few tips for using the FrogLog to get the maximum protection:
1. Make sure the back of the float is tight to the pool wall. 2. If possible, set your pump and filter to turn off at night when most animals are active. Most pool experts say that the pump only needs to run during daylight hours. 3. If there is a flow to the water circulation, place one FrogLog to intercept the water moving toward the simmer. 4. FrogLogs can be placed in front of the skimmer intake.
Finally, some very small toads/froglogs are highly susceptible to chlorine intoxication so they do not last very long in pool water.
I hope this helps.
Thanks,
Rich
We have had frogs in our pool for years. Too often I would find dead ones and have to scoop them out. Since we put two of these in our pool, we have had zero dead frogs. Plus, they clearly enjoy sitting on it.
Pumped up the replacement bladders and inserted them in our aging frog logs. The exteriors are in excellent condition and the platforms bobbed on the pool surface all summer long. We had the usual frog and chipmunks visit, and no fatalities. Thanks!
Since we installed this product 12 weeks ago, we’ve had no mice or chipmunks die in our pool. Before we installed it, this occurred about every two weeks
We have been purchasing the original FrogLog for several years, and they work so well. Not one thing has drowned in our pool since we started using these.
Thank you for a good product at a fair price.
I discovered frog logs a while ago after trying so many methods to ensure frogs did not drown in the pool or wind up in the filter. Well since I started using it for many years, there is no need to try anything else. Thanks.
My husband thought the Frog Log looked like a pretty unlikely rescue ramp until we spotted the frog that kept getting in the skimmers hanging out on the frog beach. I have a photo!
Wondering if you could make one with a longer escape ramp, for a pool which is not filled very high? (Also, my name is Pamela; Juli-Ann is my friend who let me use her credit card to order the Frog Log.)
Thank you FrogLog for a quick and easy way to prevent wildlife deaths!
I bought two FrogLogs for my pool to put at each end. The morning of the fifth day after placing the Logs, I found a very small bunny sitting on one of them. The bunny must have jumped in overnight and found her way to the Log. One bunny saved.
This is my second FrogLog. Has saved a number of frogs and toads.
The Frog Log is the best! I have tried other brands & they don’t hold up or work nearly as well as the original Frog Log. I currently have 2 frogs that like to hang out in my pool at night. Since putting the frog log in, I have had no casualties.
The Frog Log brand is a durable product. We had ordered one after seeing it advertised and it lasted several years. I decided to be cheap and ordered another brand and it lasted one year. Now I have two of them for each end of the pool. They are worth the money and we no longer find critters in the pool.
We've been using Frog Logs since 2001 when we had our pool put in.
Before Frog Logs we were constantly fishing dead chipmunks and other critters out of our pool. Since using Frog Logs no dead critters. That's a win!
We upgrade our Frog Logs every couple years. We've had the original and the camo. I highly recommend them.
We just put a pond with a waterfall in our backyard, and I got two FrogLogs for it. The first night the pond was up and running we had at least two toads come to visit. The second night we saw one sitting on one of the FrogLogs, and we've been toad central ever since! We haven't had any drownings so far, and the FrogLogs have helped make our pond the cool place for all the neighborhood toads to hang out.
Great addition to our pool. It definitely works. We've gone out at night and seen toads sitting on the log and then a frog free pool in the morning. I still occasionally find a few dead frogs in the skimmer, sadly. I would highly recommend because it has cut back on a ton of frog deaths.
So glad FrogLogs exist. We used to find dead frogs and chipmunks in our pool and that has pretty much ended. Nothing sadder than seeing a little critter struggling to climb out of the pool and unable to do it. I used run out with a net to try to rescue them. Unfortunately I wasn’t always around.
This was my second order of the original frog logs. They have been in the hot sun year round for 2 years before replacing with new ones. I check our filter every morning for frogs. I don’t see hardly any frogs since purchasing these. I’ve even seen bees safely drinking from our pool while sitting on a frog leg. Wonderful product to help the animals from drowning.
Love these Frog Logs! They work great and the material is good quality. I accidentally ordered on off brand last time. I will always use Frog Logs from now on.
