HYDROTOOLS BY SWIMLINE ORIGINAL 70200 FrogLog Animal Saving Escape Ramp For Pools & Spas | For All Small Animals Entering The Pool | Heavy Duty Ma...

Easy to set up and the frogs began using it right away. It has drastically reduced the amount of frogs and toads stuck in the filter etc...great product.

Working really well to keep toads out of the pool, really really well. Holds up about 2 summers before UV and chlorine fade and deteriorate. Well worth it, and the toads agree.

So far, no critters in my skimmer! This season I would have expected 2-3 birds, a rabbit, and a few frogs to be floating in my skimmer, but there has been nothing since putting this in my pool. I placed mine a few feet down from the skimmer, and I guess that's working ok even though I technically need two of these for my pool size. But so far, no critters, so I'm happy! That said, this is like the water cooler for wolf spiders, so there are 5-6 huge spiders congregated on this thing at all times, waiting for bugs to get caught in the netting at the bottom for easy dinner. You annoy one of those spiders and about a thousand babies come out of it, so having a nice place for them that's not easy to clean out is a bit annoying. But overall, I'd rather deal with a tiny bit of daily annoyance (hit the thing with my net a few times and scoop up all the bugs) than have to deal with disposing of dead animals. So, overall it's a win. Update 2020: Last season went well too, with nothing but one snake in the skimmer. I noticed when checking everything out prior to this season that the foam platform is a bit worse for wear, but it will probably last one more year. I consider this a good deal. So, 4 seasons of use out of something that sits in water and sunlight for half the year is pretty good. I appreciate no more gross dead critters in my skimmer.

WORKS FOR DUCKLINGS!!! I bought two of these because my complex has a mother duck who leads her ducklings into the swimming pool each year, and it was really difficult to get them out!! These Frog Logs worked perfectly and amazingly well! They are well-made and easy to assemble. There is an inflatable bladder at the bottom, which was easy to pump up with a hand pump. It is made from fairly thick material, so it is firm when inflated. The weight at the top has a little plastic baggie inside, and you fill the baggie and then that baggie fits neatly inside the top part. Because it's got that waterproof baggie, you can use kitty litter and not worry about what happens if it gets wet. I am not at all clever about assembly, and I put these together easily in about 5 minutes each. I put the two Frog Logs at the edge of the pool where the mommy duck was most likely to get out, and I put some food around the Frog Logs in the pool and also on top of the Frog Log platform. I used bird seed, but you could also use crumbled crackers or breadcrumbs -- anything that is about the size of half a grain of rice works, and if it floats, that's better. The food attracted them over to the Frog Logs. I also put some food on the concrete in front of the Frog Logs, so mommy would stay there and eat. It still took about a half hour of mommy duck getting out and getting back in and getting out again, before the babies climbed out. They want to follow their mom, so that's why I used the food to attract them to the Frog Logs and then to keep mommy near the Frog Logs when she got out of the pool. Those little ducklings are tiny!! Four days old. But still, they were able to hop on to the Frog Log platform and then climb the netting to get out. Once the first duckling figured it out, it was less than 2 minutes before all twelve were out of the pool. Highly, highly recommended -- this was a big win!!!!
