Residents of southern Florida suffer from the invasion of thousands of poisonous toads

The southern part of Florida suffers from the invasion of thousands of poisonous toads. These amphibians are called “bufo toads”, they are also known as reed toads. Palm Beach Gardens residents fear that toxins excreted by toads will harm their pets and children.

Small-sized toads litter filters for swimming pools, massively jump over roads and sidewalks and hide in lawns.

“I see tons of toads or frogs everywhere,” one homeowner said. “You can’t even walk across the grass without stepping on one.”

"It's not hundreds, we're talking about thousands of these little creatures," said resident Carolyn Rice.

Jenny Quasha, who lives next door, contacted the homeowners association but was told it was her responsibility to fix the problem.

Kuasha said that with three children who are now on spring break, she is afraid to go out.

“You can’t swim in the pool, you can’t play outside and you can’t enjoy the fresh air. We can only hope that we can put an end to this soon,” Kuasha said.

Marc Holladay from the Pest Control Service Toad Busters noticed that recent rains, combined with warm weather, had activated the breeding instinct in amphibians. He added that in the coming weeks, residents across South Florida will see an even greater number of toads.
