When I say starts up - they are deafening some nights. We are on a golf course - 9th Green - which has a long lagoon water trap along it - and beside us. No issues with mossies - but the singing is unbelievable. Then - it stops - no reason - silence for a few moments - then one starts - then BANG !!!! They all stop around 5am. My question - is there a way to silence them - I don't mind if they start up after I'm asleep ... In fact it can be quite soothing. But - we sleep with doors open - and have to have the TV a lot louder when we watch it. Maybe a whistle ? Re: Frogs, Toads and Assorted Night Creatures? 2Dec 26, 2015 12:33 pm I'm not joking about the volume. Imagine a frog in a drain - then multiply it by one thousand ! I actually quite like it but Mrs SM goes spare. Re: Frogs, Toads and Assorted Night Creatures? 4Dec 27, 2015 7:07 am As I said - our lot all sing together. You have to turn the TV up. Re: Frogs, Toads and Assorted Night Creatures? 6Dec 27, 2015 6:49 pm Give it time, where there is excessive food, a predictor or two will show up. My folks have a dam at their place that had heaps of frogs but now, not so many (quieter at night!) Two lots of predictors took up residence near the dam. A family of Tawny Frogmouths moved in (they nest their every year now, 2 new chicks this Christmas) and they got the numbers down a bit. The frogs go quiet when they are out hunting. The other were a few red-bellied black snakes that love frogs. They live in the rocks and scrub around the dam and are pretty placid. When we see them out sunning themselves they slither off well before we get too close. Good Luck! Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ The Family...
