This has changed from the previous version and doesn’t work the same. The fact they are filled with air now is disappointing.
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.
We recently purchased a home with a pool. As first time pool owners we were surprised and saddened by the nearly daily drowned squirrels. Since adding our Frog Logs there have been no drowned wildlife. Our family and backyard friends thank you so much!!!
Great addition, highly recommend putting at least one of these in if not two. No more worries about squirrels falling in by mistake. They swim over to the pad and get out easily. A real life saver. For me , it is also a transition for the little tad poles for when they grow legs and are ready to hop out. Fun to watch them use it!
One of the first things we bought upon moving, well before the pool was anywhere near open. So important for anyone with a pool.
After installing in my pool I still had a dead chipmunk, lots of dead & dying large beetles, several dead frogs and tons of dead oe dying spiders. The frog log only appears to collect tree debris. But I will note it may have had other animals and insects get out between my daily cleaning of the pool.
Hi Nannette, thank you for sharing your experience. We're sorry to hear the FrogLog has not met your expectations. Your feedback is valuable. We want to help you reduce wildlife casualties as much as possible. Here are some thoughts:
1. When you have small mammals (chipmunks, mice, etc.) in your pool, the guidelines on our website suggest increasing the number of FrogLog units to reduce the distance the animals in their state of panic, have to swim to find safety.
2. Our guidelines also suggest that if the number of animals in your pool is significant, then using multiple FrogLogs is advised.
3. Many of the animals that die in pools are young and may not have developed full abilities to swim yet.
4. Frogs and toads can float all day but they will die as chlorine or salt water enters their permeable skin. So survival time does depend on the chlorine/salt levels. Small frogs will not last as long as larger ones.
5. Cycling the pump and filter off at night will reduce the number of animals that get drawn into the skimmer before finding the FrogLog. Also, the FrogLogs can be placed in front of the skimmer.
6. We like saving insects too. If you want to save more insects and spiders, adding multiple FrogLogs will help.
5. Finally- feel free to call if you want to discuss this further. 240-258-7723
Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions or need assistance.
Hello. The sand, pebble plastic insert bag needs to be stronger plastic stronger zip lock. The velcro cover needs to be wider to cover the insert bag. The insert steps do not arch like the picture. Air tube velcro needs to be wider to secure air tube.
This is my 3rd order for these wonderful items. They save the frogs and toads that get into my pool and prevents contamination of thise that would have perished without thw FrogLog.
Great product (unlike some of the knockoffs on Am-*zon). Well worth the money. I bought the original a while ago (more than a couple of years ago) and the two I bought lasted through at least 3 or 4 summers! They finally gave up the ghost this year, but I'd tried to order something cheap - had to send it back as soon as I got it the mesh tore the moment I tried to put it in the pool. THIS is the product you want!
Doesn't stay inflated. Compared to the real original frog log, this version is a real disappointment.
This purchase was two new Frog Logs to replace the old ones we had that were starting to fall apart after a few years (thanks to the California sunshine :)). We haven't had any problems with little creatures getting stuck in our pool since putting out our original Frog Logs years ago and we did have a couple of incidents before that :( Overall, I highly recommend Frog Logs to anyone with a pool to allow animals that have fallen in to pull themselves out again.
Someone should do the analysis required to determine how many animals die in pools each year. Frogs, dogs, cats, innumerable insects … the list is terrifying.
FrogLogs help keep the death count down. Anyone who has a heart, and a pool, should get them.
Sadly the material fades over time and eventually disintegrates and breaks away from the climbing strap. The climbing strap however is sill like new. The product needs an update. I have 2 froglogs for 6 years now.
This item worked perfectly. Gives critters a chance to get out of the pool.
I have been using FrogLogs for well over a decade. I was so distressed when these little creatures would die and meet their untimely deaths in my pool so unnecessarily. FrogLogs has probably saved 100's of fragile little lives, from amphibians to chipmunks and more. And, they have saved me so much pain and stress feeling responsible. I LOVE my FROGLOGS
Seems like a good product. Only able to use only 2 months. Will see how it works next pool season.
