I wanted to share some good news from Torrington, Connecticut.
Torrington’s city pool recently started using a FrogLog to help save wildlife. As far as I’m aware, they are the first city in CT to be using a wildlife escape ramp in the public pool when it’s is not in use.
The idea of installing a FrogLog was originally brought to Torrington’s Conservation Commission. With the support of the City Facilities Manager, Land Use Department, Parks and Recreation, and Pool Director, they helped make this idea a reality.
We’ve been sharing your website with other cities and towns in Connecticut in hopes they will be inspired to invest in FrogLogs to save wildlife.
Thank you for all you do to protect our wildlife. The FrogLog is the best!
Fingers crossed, but we haven’t had a single creature show up in the pool strainer or cleaner since we installed two of the froglogs.
We are so happy with frog log. For such a small amount of money we don’t have dead drowned critters in the pool. Thanks for making them!
We purchased the FrogLogs for our pool after losing several chipmunks, a squirrel, frogs, etc in our pool that couldn’t get back out. The FrogLogs conveniently provide the escape for them to crawl back out. Bugs use it too! It seems like a really great product!
This is my third Frog Log over the years. Keeps toads, frogs, moles and chipmunks safe and out of my filter. Great product!
I was so happy to see zero frogs in my skimmer since I’ve received my frog log! (No bumble bees either)! 😀
Hello FrogLog Team,
We first bought FogLogs from our local pool service company and they lasted several seasons. Bought new “Fog Logs” on-line. These were poor quality and lasted maybe 2 seasons. We are very happy to have your FogLogs in our pool.
They have saved the lives of many chipmunks, squirrels, frogs and toads over the years.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Only gave 3 stars for the replacement bladder. It doesn’t seem as durable as the original as it is already taking on water.
We were sad to find several drowned in the pool this spring. We now have 3 statically placed FrogLogs and have only had one casualty.
It's hard to make a perfect product, but FrogLog is close. I live near agricultural fields. I was getting dead frogs and mice in my skimmer almost daily. After adding them? It's very rare. The only downside is that the FrogLogs tend to collect some floating debris from the pool, which is why I took off one star, but it's worth it to avoid the dead creatures! Insects are able to exit the pool with it as well!
The frog logs seem to be working well for our pool - we use it to save chipmunks who were getting stuck in the water. Now they can swim to one of four frog log platforms and climb out. Our pool service staff highly recommended frog logs and we are so happy they did.
Frogs use our pool as a mating pond. Snakes, skinks, and other crawlies had a history of drowning in the skimmer. After adding two frog logs, i rarely have to due a live rescue or body recovery. Just like with humans, though, there are always a few knuckleheads that can't find their way to safety.
This has changed from the previous version and doesn’t work the same. The fact they are filled with air now is disappointing.
Hi Shana,
I assume you are talking about the first generation FrogLog which was made of a foam plank. I was making these in my garage and it was not sustainable. The goal was always to help as many pool owners as possible save wildlife. I was able to find a manufacturer that worked with inflatable pool products. The current version with the inflatable bladder has wide distribution and has likely saved millions of small animals from perishing in pools. Thanks for using the FrogLog in your pool and for your wildlife conservation efforts. If you feel any differently after using the new generation FrogLog, please feel free to edit your comment. Thanks
I have not had to remove frogs or chipmunks from our pool in the 3 years I've been using our Frog Log. It is very well built.
This gizmo seems to work like a charm. We routinely have had barely alive (or drowned) frogs, toads, skinks, mice, chipmunks, etc. in our pool in the AM that we had to fish out. Since installing the Frog Log there has not even been one! WOW, it really WORKS.
Great product! I haven’t had any animals or reptiles fall in the pool since I’ve had it, but its insurance for them if they need it.
Frog log is the answer to having animals escape drowning in a swimming pool. I’m tired of emptying the skimmers and finding a dead mouse or mole inside. Frog log gives them a chance to escape.
This is my second set of 4 frog logs and I will never have a pool without them. They really work. We went from regularly pulling dead chipmunks out of the water to none at all. I’ve even watched a mother groundhog help her baby up on to a frog log. Great product.
We love our Frog Logs! Camo is too cute! Gives us peace of mind knowing our chipmunks can get out of the pool if they fall in!
It sets up easily and stays put in the water. But the mesh around the pad folds down, so it may be difficult for an animal to climb out of the water without the help of the mesh.
We purchased 4 Frog Logs to put around our pool and have already noticed a significant reduction in wildlife in the skimmers. In fact, we have yet to see any frogs, lizards or mice etc. Very happy we made the purchase, would totally recommend and wish we had known about this product earlier.
