do they work on frogs? i have a problem with frogs coming into the pool to lay their eggs

No. This affects a snakes ability to hunt because of the smell. When they cant hunt the treated area they move away to an untreated area. The package states it is for snakes only

I don't know. If it is a swimming pool, I would not use it. I would contact the company who makes it.

I've had mine for about 5 days now and they have displayed no aggression towards snails. I've only seen them wave thier little claws at fish that swim too close and just as I was typing this, one snapped at a gourami that tried to take his food!

I truly do not know about the water. I got the impression they are miniature electronics of some sort, so I would not think they would work in water. I would think it would ruin the hex bug. I bought them for gifts for 3 children of various ages, and none of them used them in water.

I would think carefully. A frog will anything it can get its mouth around. Most frogs have a big mouth. You would need to compare frog mouth size to the size of the shrimp.

No. They are soil dwelling and even so, pose no threat to most aquatic, amphibians or invertebrates. They are generally target-specific (as advertised). Chemical grub control, however WILL harm them.

Not a good idea. It does tend to get water in them when a stream of water is around. When it rains not really. Only when a constant stream of water is around you tend to get water in them

It's impossible to get them in and out even if it would withstand the paws, which it won't. Even birds landing on it can puncture the outer ring that holds all the water in place. I tried carrying mine in and out with life jackets on to swim with me, but almost dropped them since the ladder is difficult. I had a neighbor whose dog climbed up the ladder when it was left in the pool and the dog died. There was no way for it to get back out, so it swam until it drowned. That can happen with any type of pool so please take care and watch your pets. Mine are happiest playing in plastic kiddie pools that I can just refill each day without the cost or worry of pool chemicals.

Yes. We have a water softener system, although different from yours. The frog works on wet, and the type of water isn't a factor. It works fine for us.

I have not hired them in the water, but I do not see why not!- try one and see! And then please let me know how it worked out. Great idea!

If you mean small frogs, I'm not sure how small your pond frogs are? The first frog that came to our pond was larger than a tad pole with legs. But the frogs we have do love the "Froglog".

That didn't happen to my pool. The first one worked for about 3 weeks and they sent me another. That one did not work at all and when called and asked for a replacement for the second one I got no response. This product does not work I wasted my money.

I've sucked through dozens of fish, more dozens of tadpoles, and some frogs. When they come out the other side I pick them up and toss them back in the pond, generally unscathed. Once in a while one of the valves will close on one and hurt it, but usually not. Bullfrog tadpoles can get enough girth they will get stuck in the hoses on the way in. Many fish do try to stay away, but others try to hide and do get sucked in. Some fish (mine are koi, they spawn and make hundreds of little ones) are curious or playful and get right up to the apparatus.

We bought them to trap bugs inside the bins and them worked. I assume because they are plastic that they would keep water out. I actually did not see them, bought them for my mother at another location

If you mean aquatic dwarf frogs, I have had one in there and he did just fine. If mean regular frogs that need an area out of the water, I'm not sure how well that would work. The water flows into the tank from the top, so you would have a lot of splashing if the tank was not full.

Hi I did not try on them. It defenetly does not work on any of the birds we tryed it on

They do just seem to dry up. The poison will usually make them search out water. I haven't noticed any smells in the house, but most of our critters are on the roof and in the garage.I have found them in the pool and in the pond expired.

I do not have any frogs but I do have a Betta in a 5 gallon tank and it works just fine! You can adjust the flow of the water which makes it nice for Bettas :)
