Sweet/Genovese Basil, is it okay for American Toads?

[kissmedeadly]

My landscape architect used herbs with strong smells to keep the rodents away from the section of the garden that we expect amphibians in. Also I've read that insects become disorientated by them(essential oils). Had an aquarium full of roaches with an oil containing a bit of rose essence around the top to stop escapees, and a plate of old fruit, but they could find the fruit until I buried it! I don't know what this would mean for your toads.

This doesn't appear to effect amphibians negatively. Also crickets do not seem to be disoriented with basil.
