Geeze, bugs! I have toads and frogs all over my yard, but they don't keep up with the slugs! The stupid slugs are mowing down my annuals! I have been out there every night picking slugs with a flashlight and putting them in soapy water! I don't use any bug killers - too afraid of the damage to the cats or Chihuahua's or my frogs/toads, whom I really like! I gave up on my garden, just put two tomatoes in pots real close to the back door -- I am tired of fighting with the deer over the tomatoes and veggies! It seems all the annuals I plant are not savory to the deer!
