Our new house has toads come into the yard. Buffo toads (I think I spelled it right?) are horrible.

I rather have the darn gator, I can keep it out of my yard with a fence!!!! |
I am guessing that you
were aware that they can climb fences...maybe not all types, materials, or kinds of construction, but their tail is a fab tool for getting them the boost they need over the tops of fences, which is how they end up in people's backyard pools in summer to keep cool...and they love little doggie hors dourves...
I wouldn't like Buffo's much either...

Fact: Alligators have sharp claws and powerful tails to help them push their bodies up. Young alligators are agile climbers and adults have been known to climb fences to get to water or escape captivity. Low fences, therefore, may not be sufficient protection for pets in areas where alligators are present."
