Attracting toads to your garden can be a great, natural way to remove unwanted bugs. Toads are natural predators of slugs, beetles, ants, snails, worms, spiders, and many more insects that are harmful to garden plants. Toads can eat hundreds of insects per night and average up to one thousand insects per day as a part of their diet.

Creating a toad house for a garden can be as simple as using an old, broken clay pot to create a small cave-like area for the toad to stay while keeping a source of water nearby. Although attracting a toad to your garden is not guaranteed, utilizing a toad is a great alternative to using harmful pesticides!
