I don't know whether it was the all-day heavy rain we had yesterday or what, but the frogs came out in droves last night (20+ in/around pool, it was so loud I could barely stand to stay outside) and now there are at least 5 in each skimmer and one big daddy swimming around in the open water. Several are having their sexy time in the skimmers.
I helped them get out when I cleaned the baskets this morning, but they made their way right back in of course.
We've always had plenty of frogs but their love for my pool seems to wax and wane throughout the summer...probably in accordance with the level of various chemicals in the pool, huh?
All the numbers are finally perfect, including my TA (I had been doing the MA thing this past week to get it down from 150 to 90) so is this just something I'm going to have to live with?
I searched the archives but didn't find any solutions, other than having a meeting with them (suggested by duraleigh), which I did last night. They obviously did not get the message so I'm hoping there's something else I can do to convince them to leave!
