Are frogs keeping you up at night?

Below was an email from a customer that I wanted to share, he wrote in about his experience with the use of the system for detouring frogs. While the chemical has no affect on reptiles, it is amazing to see what he had to say about a good side affect he had no idea he was getting at the point of purchase.
Bill — The croaking frogs are still gone — thank God and Mosquitoes & More. As you could see when you were over here at our place several years ago, Sandy & I have a strong preference for maintaining a tropical atmosphere around our pool. I mean real tropical. Unfortunately, frogs seemed to strongly prefer this rain forest setting, too. While we have nothing against bio-diversity, I just had a huge problem sleeping at night because of the frogs serenading us. I lay awake many a night wondering just how many were in the chorus — was it only a pair of amorous frogs or a battalion scaling our waterfall? Whatever their number, I spent many a sleepless hour plotting their demise. I am a light sleeper anyway, so the noise often became unbearable. If I’d had quick access to a shotgun, I might have made more headway bringing about a solution. It wasn’t until a month or so after we installed your mosquito misting system that we noticed that we were no longer being serenaded, and that we were sleeping through the night. The croaking had stopped. Not a croak or ribbit — the actual sound was more like injured ducks quacking in unison right outside our window. And we began wondering if our new found peace and quiet had anything to do with the mosquito misting system. Then someone put two and two together, reasoning that the frogs that were once populating our “jungle” were doing so because of the ready food supply of bugs they found there. Without the insects to dine on, nuked by the misting system, they — the frogs – simply had no choice but to move on. That was a couple of summers ago and the frogs haven’t returned. We still have an occasional sleepless night, but it’s more likely to be caused by the stock market or the maddening train conductor who feels compelled to yank on his horn at 4 in the a.m. than it is by any kind of critter. Until someone convinces us otherwise, I’m giving all the credit for restoring our nocturnal peace and quiet to our mosquito misting system.– Sincerely Mr. Dunn -college park-
