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
