If you want to leave your exterior lights on, switch to sodium vapor bulbs since they attract fewer insects.

Circulating water also helps prevent algae from growing in the water. Consider installing a water feature, like a fountain or waterfall, in an in-ground pool to help keep the water flowing even more.

Pool covers also prevent your pool water from evaporating so you don’t have to refill it.

Colder water provides more oxygen to frogs than warmer water, so they’ll look for someplace else to cool down. [5] X Research source

Coffee grounds also lower the pH of your soil so it can really benefit plants that require acidic growing conditions. [7] X Research source

Citric acid can burn sensitive plants, so rinse them off with clean water after 1 hour. The spray will still be effective if frogs come into contact with the plants. Wear long sleeves, pants, closed-toe shoes, gloves, and safety glasses when you use citric acid since it may irritate your skin. Alternatively, try mixing equal parts vinegar and water to spray it. Since the vinegar is also acidic, it may help deter frogs.

Chlorine in your pool water makes frogs sick, so once they hop in, they’ll immediately want to get out so they don’t get hurt. Do shock treatments with chlorine once a week to kill all the bacteria in the water.

If you have a deck or porch, seal up any openings so frogs can’t get inside.

If you want to get rid of frogs completely, fence in your entire yard instead.

Avoid putting fish in your pond since they may eat frog eggs and tadpoles. If you want to make a frog habitat on a budget, then leave a bird bath on the ground or a small kiddie pool.

If you find frog eggs or tadpoles underwater, catch them and place them in a bucket with clean water. Pour the eggs into a different body of water or contact local animal control to find out where to take them. Frogs breathe through their skin, so the chlorine in your pool water can make them get very sick.

When frogs get in your pool water, they can’t jump back out. Since they have to keep swimming, they might die from exhaustion.
