My POOL, YARD and HOUSE were over run with thousands of these guys this summer. I love them so much I now have several as pets. Just when I thought it was all over the pool was full of tadspoles yet again, and I now have several containers of tadpoles I carefully scooped out of the pool, which I will hibernate and release come spring. The adults treat my pool like club med/hedanisim and call through out the nights during the summer. Now they'll be calling in my livingroom!!!LOL You should consider having one as a pet they are wonderful lil frogs, calm and tame, and are very entertaining. I completely enjoy mine.
