Photo taken June 11, 2016, showing the 2 frogs in the pond at that time I sent an email to the person on the contact list of the B.C. Frog Watch site I was redirected to forward my email to: Kerri.Davis@gov.bc.ca I dithered on sending the email as I was hoping the frog was a green frog, and I might keep it in my pond. The green frog is also an imported frog in our area. The bull frogs are an invasive species, and are taking over the habitat of our native frogs. Then on May 1st, I noticed another frog in my garden pond. By May 10th they were growing and maybe even multiplying. Yesterday, I sent an email about the frogs to Kerri Davis. I hope she can inform me on how to catch the frogs and how they relocate these frogs. These people were of NO help what-so-ever. I eventually got rid of the frogs by throwing them out of the pond when I could catch them.
From my journal entries of 2016 after contacting the government people: I am allowed to freeze the frog and after a day can dispose of it in the regular garbage. For the Government people; according to the email, it is expensive to eradicate the bullfrogs. ho hum... there is no way I am going to eradicate all the bull frogs that are in the water system from Elk Lake to the Gorge. Last year there was a little tree frog calling. I have not heard one this year. I was really hopeful that we had our frog chorus back, like it was when we first moved into this place.. 28 years ago. After the construction in Loenholm Place, the frogs quit singing, and that was not long after our place was built.
