How Do I Get Rid Of Frogs And Open My In-Ground Pool

Name: Marie  City:

Question: My in-ground pool was been closed for two seasons, we now have frogs living in it. We'd like to open it, what kind of chemicals do I need to get rid of the frogs. Also, can someone direct me to a do-it-yourself opening? the company that originally closed our pool was paid to return to open it but now cannot be found...any help, suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Answer: Im sure the words chemicals and frogs should not be used in the same sentance. Try an eco friendly way first ie stork.

Answer: The clorine and pool shock is usually enough, but this year we still have them. They seem to have become immune to the chemicals which are needed to make the pool clean and safe for humans (not Frogs!)to enjoy). good luck

Answer: When the landscape pond is under your bedroom window you don't care about them eating bugs and snails. Their time is up! I just have not figured out how to make it happen yet. Any one interested in frog legs?
