I watched a chipmunk this morning swim its way to the frog log and exit the pool. It got to it before I could help with the skimmer. The frog log saves lives. Best pool accessory I've ever purchased. I have two on opposite sides and will purchase a third.
I just placed my second order for my original Frog Logs. They did fade over time, but I feel they held up for a very long time considering they are in the hot, direct sun. I've even seen bees get on it so they can drink from our jacuzzi. I have still lost a few tiny, baby lizards over the past few years, but they weren't close to the Frog Log when they went over the side into the pool. I ordered an extra one for the pool so hopefully this won't happen again. I highly recommend this product. And especially that it's made in the USA.
I have used the frog log for years. It is durable and has saved many a frog!
