Removing Frogs

This spring, with some construction in the back yard with new soil etc, it has attached an insane amount of frogs at night - so much that you can barely hear the TV or go to sleep.
I know we need to control the bugs that they are coming for and we are working through that, but what remedies do people recommend to prevent frogs from moving in. I am not about to go gig them everynight

Frogs or toads? Frogs I recommend hot grease with hush puppies. Toads I can’t help you.

Interesting problem to have. Do you live in a very swampy area or something like that? Are they everywhere in your area, or just around your yard? They may just be mating or something like that and they will quiet down shortly.

Construction and landscape project in the backyard. They have brought in new soil and we back up to natural area, so I am sure there are feeding frenzy of bugs so the frogs have followed

Turn off the TV and go enjoy the frog orchestra

Right now it is the tree frogs making the most noise.
You won't eliminate them but if you want to try you can hang PVC pipes in the areas they accumulate and they will use them for shelter. Just empty them out and bring them to a neighbor you don't like or something.
Honestly though, I live in a house built in the 50's and the windows don't block much sound. I live on a canal and they sound is quite loud outside, but inside even with the slightest noise from a TV or radio you don't even notice the frogs. I much prefer my frog neighbors to my human neighbors.

Spray atrazine. It’ll turn them all gay and they won’t be able to reproduce.

Pretty easy to identify frogs by sound. First I’d identify what kind of frog. Tree frog? Personally I’d choose the sound of frogs over the sound of the TV. Can ask the wardens to relocate nuisance snakes to your area. Lol

I'd like to know what you've found on TV that is more enjoyable than the sound of frogs.
Secondly, I'd put frogs in the same classification as snakes but slightly less "startling" for lack of a better word. Frogs, like snakes, are going to rid the area of other less desired pests. Be glad you have them.
