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

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.
