(18,530 posts)1. When I bought my house the pool was pretty much a swamp.
There were so many of those little green guys. What there wasnt was a lot of palmetto bugs which I HATE. Sadly, the clean pool meant no more little green guys and way, way too many palmetto bugs..

Maybe you need a small garden pond or water feature to bring back the frogs.🐸

To attract them. A washtub or some sort of container either sunk in the ground or above it.
I went to St. Vincent's and got a large old crook pot and put some pretty. Large stones and shells in it with a solar fountain and its attracted frogs and birds.
