Update to "what's clogging your drain?"

Direct quote from SIL, "Alright...This Means WAR!!!!! I have been a nice guy but today with a wonderous rainstorm and winds pounding the barn, my washrack flooded again!!! Now a couple of weeks ago I pulled a bullfrog out of the drain and I was a nice guy and let him go. All that being Eco friendly stuff! Well today not only is he back but he brought a friend...and they BOTH came shooting out of the drain. And the washrack drained just fine again.This time No More Mr Nice guy...I am showing them French Menus with FROG Legs on them!!! Will someone tell me what you do with two wayward bullfrogs who are big..One did slap me by the way...these things have got to go and Stay Gone!!!!"

LOL. I guess they didn't like the neighbors pond! I'll give him some chicken wire to put over the end!

Yep, they obviously prefer the drain. Chicken wire over the hole so they can't get in might be the solution.

I wonder if a rubber snake would deter them.

Chicken wire sounds like your best solution.

Neesie, sounds like its worth a try as long as the snake doesn't plug the drain! Hope chicken wire won't allow the drain to clog with barn "debris" - bits of hay, of course, I was thinking!

Maybe you could call the Duck Dynasty guys - it would be fun to watch.

Maybe he had been scouting for a good home and returned with the misses! Your story is so cute, made my morning. I was thinking the same thing about the chicken wire to keep him and the misses out.

When you catch a critter like a squirrel or racoon, you are supposed to cross a major road and a body of water to relocate them. For a frog, do you maybe need to cross a desert?
