I love toads! They show up in my garden and are more than welcome to eat the buggies there. I put out an upside down flower pot with some moss in it last year as a toad house, no takers yet haha

I had a plague of toads when I lived my a pond. The ground would move like black brown liquid and was really a sight to be seen. It must have spread for the entire length of the 50yard shoreline. I remember taking a break from the reefer for a few month and then sitting in the garden and taking a puff of my new harvest. Had a good trippy few minutes staring at wasps and toads. Nature is wonderfully entertaining.

Is the pot within range of your sprinkler? It may help keep it cool enough for them to stay. They love the dripping faucet in the shady part of the back yard. I think adults are nocturnal.

Looks like an illegal bait station, lights to attract bugs and they fall in the water for Mr Toad. Years ago I had a bug zapper on a timer hanging in a ramada, After awhile before twilight when the zapper came on, garden toads would mosey up and begin to gather underneath it to wait for the forthcoming nightly feast. Zapper turns on and all night bugs would get electrocuted and fall to the waiting masses. I got hours and hours of viewing pleasure.

We had some ants on the old wall a couple years ago. I would watch the toads shoot out their tongues and catch them.

I spent an hour shooting like 150 pics on my phone to post one with the tongue out, but they have seriously fast tongues and I couldn't capture it.

Cool as fuck when stoned on a summer night. I wouldn't ever use insecticide there, my daughter would disown me.
