Frogs and toads are more your friends than enemies. They eat pests, including snails and slugs. However, when amphibians constantly “walk” along your paths - this is inconvenient. So the desire to drive the toads out of the garden, we fully understand.

  So, what should be done to prevent anyone from croaking in the garden?

First, remove the bark of trees, old boards and other lumber from the ground.  Lawn near the house constantly clean from the fallen leaves and trim regularly, so that the animals had nowhere to hide. Try not to use broken clay pots in your landscape design. In the afternoon, the toads and frogs hide in dark, damp, cool places, so if you deprive them of shelter, the amphibians will change their place of deployment.

Secondly, feed your pets indoors.Toads are not averse to profit from the bowl of your Tuzik or Murzik, in addition, meat cuts will attract hedgehogs. If this is not possible, then at least clean and wash the bowls in the evening so that there is nothing left for the night.

Look here:

Do not keep water containers, large bird feeders or other standing water tanks outside.  We all know that water attracts frogs, and standing water is best. By the way, if you take the reservoirs outside the local territory and garden, you will immediately feel changes for the better, because not only amphibians like moisture, but also mosquitoes.

The most radical option is the use of pesticides.. The skin of frogs is very thin and cannot protect the animal from poisoning with toxic substances. The same effect will give water with a small addition of bleach. A more humane way is to pour the footpaths and the local area with brine or sprinkle with large rock salt.

Never water toads with boiling water, even if they drive you crazy with their livestock and constant croaking. Boiling water almost instantly kill the animal, but the rest will not drive away. For the same reason, you should not fight amphibians with strong coffee with lemon.

In the Garden Garden section to the question What is the use or harm of frogs in the garden? given by the author Ledi .... the best answer is Natalia Usacheva as she fell from Mars .. or from the oak .. Look - don't listen to such people! And from frogs and from toads in country houses and kitchen gardens ONLY THE BENEFIT. Take care of them and do not hurt - and then you will harvest more .. than you would collect .. if you didn’t have them at all ..

Answer from LARIS ZHUKOVA [guru] And besides me, there are frogs, toads and lizards running around. Answer from Leah [guru] I don’t want a snake, but let toads ... Answer from Nikolai Lakaevsky [guru] and feed them. Then the French, or to China. IN business! With a smile! Answer from Nadezhda Gorodishchanova [guru] So you have a good ecology. Let everyone who can reach you live. In bad conditions, no one will live. You are good to them, which means that you will benefit. A response from RU [guru] Of small animals, frogs and toads are especially useful for the garden. The main food of frogs and toads are insects, most often pests. The moorish frog prefers spiders and cicadons most of all, the grass frog prefers slugs and grasshoppers, the gray toad beetles and ants, the green toad bugs. They also devour the bearfish, weevils, wireworms, larvae of the Colorado potato beetle, caterpillars and other pests. Jumping frogs hunt flying insects, including mosquitoes and butterflies. Young frogs and frogs feed on aphids, a raspberry beetle, mosquitoes, weevils.

During the day, an average frog eats 1-2 g of food, a toad is up to 8 g. The number of harmful insect species destroyed by frogs and toads is 2-3 times higher than that of insectivorous birds, since they feed on insects with an unpleasant smell and protective coloring. They hunt at night when the birds are asleep, and destroy nightlife pests.

Answer from Galina [guru] Frogs benefit, eat slugs and mosquitoes, love to eat strawberries. In general, all living creatures are useful. The answer is from 'Natyana B [guru] And I love frogs in the area. Even if no good! Let them live, jump, croak ... with them it is more joyful ... The answer from Dima Guchok [novice] KVAKAJU at night, do not give sleep-especially before the rainAnswer from Natalia Usachev [guru] Ugly disgrace! The benefits are clearly less than bad things! Mosquitoes don't catch all of them, slug eats a good hedgehog. Where there are frogs and a toad (near a shower and a tap with water), there are no slugs there. But a little further away, in colors, in sorrel, there are a lot of them.

So, I doubt that they eat them.

Answer from Irina Shabalina [guru] Toads live in gardens, do not offend them, they destroy a lot of pests, in fact, everything that moves, in the truest sense of the word --- their vision is so arranged that they see only moving redmets, and feed only insects, strawberries do not eat, strawberries eat slugs, that's what the toads are hunting for while sitting in strawberries. For lunch, the toads are mostly pests, because the toads mostly hunt at night (and on cloudy days), and the pests are mostly operating at night. Reply from Vladimir Z [guru] Frog slugs and mosquitoes devour. Lot! But they can bite strawberries. A little bit. Answer from Alexander Vasyukov [active] Benefit has already been told, and their harmfulness is that they are nasty! Answer from Alexander Mukhin [guru] frogs eat mosquitoes

Earthen toad. The way of life and habitat of earthen toad

Probably, it is difficult to find a man who spoke with affection about the earthen toad. On the contrary, they come up with various fables, for example, some people think that the touch of amphibians can cause warts, or even death.

And few people know that they are the orderlies of agricultural crops. That is, they cope with insects that birds can not catch. Since toads are nocturnal, as are most garden pests.

Features and habitat

If we consider the geographical habitats of earthen toads, then we can see them both in wetlands and in arid deserts, forests, meadows. In any case, should be near the reservoir. It is there that they spend the mating season and spawn. This is a feature of all amphibious animals.

Character and way of life of the earthen toad

According to the description, the earth toad is estimated at 579 species. In Russia, only six species are known. In the photo ordinary earthen toad gray. The most common view in the Far East, Central Asia.

Adults individuals are 7 cm long, and the width is almost one and a half times longer - 12 cm. The back is dark with wart color, and the belly is with lighter tones.


Gray Earthen Toad

Far East. The habitat of the fauna is floodplain meadows, shady forests. The color of the back is gray with bright spots of black-brown tint, covered with a surface of warts.

Belly light shade. Females differ from male individuals in larger sizes. Red eyes. There are spikes on the legs. Sakhalin, China, Korea is called a habitat.


Far Eastern Earthen Toad

Green The color of the back is gray with open spots of marsh color. An animal as if in camouflage, well disguised from enemies. Therefore, it lives freely in meadows with small grass. Jump toad can not like a frog, but prefers to move slowly.


In the photo green toad

Caucasian. It overtakes all its fellows in height, which varies from 12 to 12.5 cm in length. Adults of gray tint with brown notes.

Younger specimens are highlighted in orange. The homeland of animals is the Western Caucasus. They can be found in mountainous areas, sometimes in caves, if there is increased humidity.


Caucasian Earthen Toad

Reed. It has a great similarity with the green toad. It is listed in the Red Book, as the view is on the verge of extinction. Motherland - the Kaliningrad region, the Baltic States, Belarus, Switzerland. He likes places near water bodies - shrubs, marshy lowlands.


Reed toad

Mongolian toad. It lives in Western Ukraine, the Baltic States. Warts on the back of females have a smooth structure, which cannot be said about males - they have thorns. Color gray with olive spots. And all of them are of different shapes and sizes. The abdomen is light with no signs of spots.

Sometimes animals can live in the cellar, where vegetables are stored for the winter. This is quite natural. After all, if there is moisture, this is the native element of toads. Before removing the earthen toad from the cellar, some measures should be taken:

1. In the summer, open the cellar and pull out all your equipment to dry. While the racks are dry, conduct thermal insulation of the basement. To do this, remove the top layer of the floor and cover with sand. Thoroughly ram everything.

This will serve as a cushion for waterproofing. Then, cover with a film the ground part and fill with concrete. Wait until it is completely dry and proceed to the walls and ceiling.

Carefully inspect everything for the presence of cracks, if there is also cemented surfaces. To process walls, a ceiling with lime or any protective agents from a fungus. Now you can make dry racks.

2. Use the traps.

Eating Earthen Toad

The toad is mostly nocturnal. The exception is rainy weather and sunset. Then the predator goes hunting. All spineless insects, slugs, butterflies, and spiders fall into her diet. The signal for a prey raid is the slightest stirring of an insect.

Often, due to its clumsiness, animals fall into wells, cellars. Then their life ends in confinement. But they continue to exist and feed on those small things that end up, for example, in a well.

The toad has always caused people to dislike and its appearance in the garden, they consider it a misfortune. But, knowing what earthen toad eats, you cannot call it anything else as a site cleaner. During the day, the earthen toad in the garden eats up to 8 g of insects.

If the birds do not hunt for pests in the garden at night, night nurses will take care of this. So what is the earthen toad, and what does it do when settling in the garden, to my benefit or harm, in my opinion, the answer is clear - from the toads only benefit to the crops.

For some reason, these orderlies do not like many and are looking for ways to get rid of earthen toads:

1. The site should be cleared of wood waste so that the animals do not have the opportunity to hide.

2. If there are dogs, do not leave leftover food in a bowl.

3. Exclude access to water. This will not only scare away the toads, but also insects that love moisture.

4. Sprinkle the paths with rock salt.

5. An effective method is the use of pesticides.

Reproduction and life expectancy of the earth toad

Before spawning, it should be recalled how the offspring of earthen toads hatch. The animal approaches the reservoir in the mating season. For temperate climates, this is spring; in the tropics, this is the rainy season. They are already awaited by the males, making unusual sounds. Two individuals mate. As a result, the roe is fertilized.


Earthen toad roe

Although the toad is earthen, the process of obtaining offspring takes place necessarily in the water. We will understand how the earthen toads reproduce in the reservoir. Animals spawn, which has an interesting feature of appearance - is a thin string.

In some species, it can reach 8 meters. After the caviar enters the reservoir, it can be at the bottom of it or twist the water reeds.

Tailed tadpoles appear from the roe, which continue to exist there. In about two months, the young individuals are ready for terrestrial life and move to land. The following year, the earth toad is ready for procreation.

Frogs and toads are helpers in our gardens.

Green toad

Hello, friends!

Today I want to tell you about frogs and toads - the full inhabitants of our gardens and gardens, which help control the number of pests. If they create acceptable conditions, they will gladly settle in garden plots and will eat large quantities of slugs, caterpillars, insect larvae, earworms, click beetles, ants, fillies, mosquitoes and other pests living within their reach. If you do not use pesticides and do not leave inorganic fertilizers on the ground in undissolved form, it is comfortable not to mow the grass in some parts of the garden too often, frogs and toads will be comfortable and they will come to live on your land plots. And if there is at least a small reservoir near the site with convenient for breeding frogs and toads in some places, their help will be provided from early spring.

Not everyone loves these most useful and beautiful (do not be surprised, in nature, all creations are perfect) amphibians (amphibians), some are even afraid of them, considering that warts appear from frogs and toads. I declare with full responsibility that this is not true - there is no confirmation of these rumors. Yes, I myself in childhood and in more mature age took frogs and toads in my hands, but I didn’t have any warts. And children are beginning to be afraid of amphibians, because they are frightened by adults, who in childhood were frightened by their parents.


Gray toad

The use of frogs. Use of toads

The useful activity of amphibians is noted in various literature. Eating practically only animal food, they exterminate insects that damage gardens, orchards, meadows, fields and forests. The amphibians greatly benefited in regulating the number of harmful insects in gardens and kitchen gardens for a long time. In England, Holland, Hungary, gardeners imported toads specifically from other countries and released them into greenhouses and gardens. In the mid-1930s, about 150 toads were delivered to the Hawaiian Islands from the Antilles. There they were propagated and released more than a million toads on the sugar cane plantation. The results are very pleased. In the USSR, young naturalists released frogs on school grounds. And we do not need to do anything - do not interfere with frogs and toads, and they will come. Already in Russia, there are enough reservoirs and wild places for their reproduction and wintering.

Moor frog Grass frog Gray Toad Green toad

In Russia, gray (common) and green toads, grass and moorish (brown) frogs live most often in gardens and orchards, to the south of Moscow there are garlickers, so named because of the garlic-like smell. All of them are sensitive to the humidity of the air in the soil. When the humidity is above 90%, the grass frog lives, it does not tolerate dry air, it can live both in the Far North (in water reservoirs) and in the forest-steppe zone near rivers, but does not extend far beyond the Urals. Moorish frog is much less sensitive to dry air. The most hardy to dryness and air temperature of the toad, especially green, which occupies the most dry habitat, inaccessible to other amphibians, and dies only with the loss of 50% of water from body weight.

Reproduction of frogs. Breeding toads

For the reproduction of frogs and toads is characterized by internal fertilization (not all amphibians). Mature individuals spring gather in water bodies, mate, after which females spawn. Masonry are not far from the coast on small, open, well-warmed places. After some time, tadpoles hatch from the eggs, depending on the species of the individuals and the surrounding temperature, grow, eat mostly algae, inaccessible to other vertebrates. From the end of June, and in some places by the autumn, tadpoles turn into frogs, leave water bodies and diverge throughout the district, passing up to 60 meters per day. It is very interesting that in the shells of the eggs of moor frogs contain the substance ranidin, which kills the simplest microorganisms. In folk medicine, dried caviar of frogs is used to treat erysipelas of the face.

How frogs hibernate. How toads overwinter

Different species overwinter differently. Gray and green toads are buried in loose soil to a depth of 10-12 cm, wintering in the holes of rodents, holes, under stones, in the cracks of the walls. Moor frogs hibernate on land: in pits covered with leaves, in heaps of foliage and needles, under heaps of branches, in rodent holes. Garbage girls burrow into the soil or use rodent burrows, moles or nests of coastal swallows. Grass frogs prefer to winter in peat pits, keys, at the bottom of reservoirs, under high banks, in thickets of vegetation, in flowing reservoirs under stones. Unfortunately, in severe, snowless winters, amphibians often die. Even grass frogs hibernating in the water die from lack of atmospheric gases or freezing of the reservoir to the bottom.


Green toad

Amphibian breathing

Amphibians breathe through the lungs and skin. The grass frog gets through the skin 33% of oxygen. The exchange of gases through the skin with the environment in amphibians occurs only through the water film, so the skin is constantly moistened with mucus, which is produced by numerous glands. In the sun, the film on the skin dries out and prevents moisture loss. Toads have to protect the poisonous glands, emit substances with a pungent smell, a very bitter taste, burning and vomiting action. After all, they can not quickly move and run away from the hunter. The poison of gray and green toads is not dangerous to humans, especially since it is released only under mechanical pressure.

These species of frogs and toads hunt mostly at night, leaving shelters in the evening. During the day, grass frogs hide in wet places, nestling on the ground, and garlickers burrow into the soil. Toads, going out to feed in the evening, often bathe in water or dew. Amphibians, more than birds, eat insects with an unpleasant odor and taste and insects with a protective color. If you cultivate cultural plantings in gardens and fields with toxic chemicals, frogs and toads, birds and beneficial insects die, and pests adapt, become immune to similar poisons and multiply exponentially, forcing them to use ever stronger poisons.


In places where people carefully, wisely relate to nature, biocenoses are composed of plants and animals, including frogs and toads, which regulate the number of various pests of the garden. Yes, there are wormy apples, but the products are environmentally friendly, because the worm will not eat a harmful plant. In many places of immense Russia, it is customary to burn autumn leaves, grass, and branches. But after all in them and under them the mass of useful insects and frogs winters. And having lain through the winter, not even in a compost heap, leaves and grass can serve as an excellent mulch and part of soil mixtures. The branches of the trees can be buried in new beds, and even better to process them into chips (read "Garden shredder branches") and sprinkle the paths on the plot, the ground under the trees and shrubs, where they rot and enrich the soil.

Let's protect the space in which we live, do not litter and do not poison! Then we will be healthier.

The use of toads and frogs

Often we can hear the unflattering characteristics of this couple. However, the benefits of frogs and frogs are obvious. And if they live on your estate, know that there is also their merit in reducing the number of slugs and mosquitoes.

The “wines” of frogs and toads consist in the fact that they are a favorite delicacy of almost all the inhabitants of forests, fields and rivers. Snakes, hedgehogs, foxes, owls, hawks, crows, magpies are not averse to taste the tender frog meat. To survive on earth, the bug-eyed must somehow protect themselves. How to do this if there are no teeth, no shell, no wool, no claws, no forces? Remains of poison.

For example, in rodents, the injection of frog skin secretions causes immediate paralysis of the hind legs. But, in addition, these secretions, covering the frog's body in the form of mucus, help it to slip out from the enemy, protect it from bacteria and fungal spores.

In toads, poisonous glands achieve even greater development. They are located near the ears and the body. When a fox grabs a toad, substances with a strong smell and bitter taste that cause burning and vomiting are reflexively released from all the glands. The predator strikes the prey, and if it does not, and eats the toad, poisonous substances can poison it.

Recall once again: for a person, these secretions are not dangerous.

Toads and frogs are faithful helpers in the garden.

Do not hurt toads and frogs: they are useful!

The skin glands of frogs and toads emit toxic substances that are dangerous not for humans, but for four-legged and winged enemies.

The use of toads and frogs is that they catch caterpillars, mosquitoes, flies.

Grass frog

If you look at the structure of the body of the frog, then you can see that it is always elevated in front and as if directed at an angle upwards. A long tongue is ejected for a considerable distance, helping to catch flies, mosquitoes and other insects flying past. Long hind legs allow you to make long jumps.

Toad has other options. Some "squat" look and short hind limbs, the absence of a far-flung tongue attract attention.

Toad collects caterpillars, its food - on the surface of the soil.

Therefore, both toads and frogs are equally useful and we should take care of this ecological couple. Most often we can meet a gray or common toad, which is easily distinguished by the brown color of the tuberous back and the off-white or yellowish abdomen. She prefers dry places, but moves to water for spawning.

Leads nocturnal or twilight lifestyle, the day he sits under the boards and stones, often in the underground and barns. It feeds on caterpillars and beetles. Inactive and easy to use. In the spring appears at 5-6 ° C. Lays 1200-6840 eggs in the pond. Tadpoles develop in water within two months. In autumn, small toads already reach 1.5 cm.

The environmental partner of gray toads on the site are common frogs. This type is characterized by a brown or grayish color of the back, a dark tapering spot behind the eye, a yellowish or white belly. Long hind legs allow you to jump well, fleeing from numerous enemies.

In nature, live in forests and forest-steppe. All summer is spent on land, are twilight and nocturnal, but often hunt during the day, catching mosquitoes, flies and other flying insects, beetles, grasshoppers, mollusks. According to environmentalists, every summer the frog eats about 1,300 mosquitoes and flies.

This is a large area through which excessive moisture can penetrate, which is why it can affect not only the safety of food, but also the dampness of the room, if of course the cellar is inside it. Trim today. First of all, you need to decide what gender should be in the cellar and only after that decide how to do it.

Choosing a cellar floor

  In the cellar, the floor must be chosen first of all about finding from groundwater. After all, this factor affects the increased moisture. Just not unimportant is the location. After all, if it is a lowland, then here too the water can enter the room. The price of its manufacture will depend on the material that you will apply. But one thing is important that in any case it is possible to reduce the cost of the work, because having done everything with your own hands you will have the cost of the construction much lower and you will be able to do the job completely.

Types of cellar floors

  What should be the floor in the cellar, we now understand. The fact is that there are plenty of opportunities to equip the cellar floor. We will talk about the most famous, affordable and convenient ways that you can equip yourself. It is recommended to use the existing ready-made floors or to finish the coating based on the characteristics of your cellar.
Ground floor It has been used for many centuries. Previously there was an erroneous view that the floor in the storage facility cannot be covered with concrete to save the necessary atmosphere in it. But this is the case: a dense floor does not provide protection from mold, and in the case when the cellar is in a zone with close groundwater, then the storage will be raw, in the spring there will be water. The question arises: should a basement be made of concrete? If the floor is located at or below the groundwater level, then concrete is the best solution that will provide the necessary reliable protection against moisture. Concrete is used as a preliminary base and in the form of the present floor. And to make the surface more stable, you can paint it. It is popular to use it as a flooring in the cellar of solid brick. Due to this, the base in the repository looks presentable and resembles an ancient structure. Also, this coating method is reliable and long.
Adobe coating The technology has been used for a long time, so is it worth saying that it is reliable? Today, such a floor is not often satisfied, because it is a very laborious and lengthy process and it is difficult to find high-quality material - good clay in the required quantity is quite rare.
A rock A floor from a natural stone, a ceramic tile and other kinds of the basis. It is often used to give an aesthetic look to the cellar. In addition, if the cellar is used to store wine, it will give it a noble look.
Wood floor This will also be an excellent way in the event that the possibility of flooding in the spring is excluded. Wood is an excellent natural material, it is wonderfully suitable for your storage.

Nuances of flooring in the cellar

  Based on what kind of coverage you have chosen, the nature of the work can be significantly different, like the materials used and the available tools. Before starting the main job, prepare everything you need so that you do not have any downtime.

Ground coating

  This coating is a simple method that is easy to implement without any help; its cost is almost zero. Characteristic of this method:
  • First, you should make the base smooth, remove all sorts of interfering styling components, turf, if any.
  • Then gravel should be poured about 10 cm and tamped.
The coating is finished, the lightness of this method seduces many, but it has some drawbacks:
  • The floor is afraid of damage - the rack may sink, and the preserved banks will then fall.
  • This coating does not protect against moisture, for this reason it will not be possible to provide adequate moisture in the storage. Wood items that stand on the floor will dampen and start to rot, and metal objects will rust.
  • In the case when the groundwater level is close, in the spring your cellar will be filled with water.

Concrete Coating

  How to make the floor in the cellar of concrete, let's look in more detail. If you have doubts about the possibility of covering the floor in storage with concrete, we note that almost all the cellars of the agricultural structures are made of concrete, and at the same time the products are preserved excellently.
  Concretes the floor You will need to do a lot of work, but this will ensure the strength of the floor:
  • First you need to make a groove about 30 cm from the level where the floor will be.
  • Then the platform should be leveled, observing the level, since the concrete screed should be made of the same thickness so that there are no differences.
  • Having prepared the base, a cushion for the screed is made; for this, the floor is covered with 10-15 cm of crushed stone and 5 cm of sand.
  • Sand should be moistened and carefully tamped, then make the first layer for waterproofing by pouring the base with bitumen, which is glued to glass-fiber or roofing felt, making overlap on the walls.
  • Then we lay a reinforced mesh to reinforce the floor, then pour concrete 8-10 cm thick.
You can cover in a slightly different way:
  • We pour out crushed stone with a thickness of 20-30 cm, then we make a cushion of sand for 10 cm. The coating needs to be compacted and leveled.
  • Then pour the concrete to a thickness of 8 cm, it must be sealed with reinforced mesh.
  • The floor will dry for about 3 weeks, then you need to make a waterproofing layer. It can be done using roofing material or other rolled material for waterproofing, you can use liquid rubber, it has excellent waterproofing properties. It is necessary to protect not only the base itself, but also 10-15 cm of the wall surface around its perimeter.
  • Then pour the second layer of cement.
Attention: In the case when groundwater is located near the surface, the base must be strongly protected:
  • First, you should deepen and level the floor surface.
  • Then it is necessary to lay approximately 30 cm of clay coating, knead the clay to the consistency of dough.
  • On top of the clay rubble is poured on 10 cm and sand on 5 cm, then they should be compacted.
  • Next comes a concrete layer of 8-10 cm, reinforced with a ready-made reinforced mesh or a grid made of reinforcement, it must be covered with concrete not less than 3 cm.
  • When the floor is dry, we glue it on it, and again we pour concrete about 5 cm thick.
  • Glue the second layer of stekloizola, pour the final layer of waterproofing concrete on it. Waterproofing is provided by adding liquid glass to concrete, which makes it possible for the coating to obtain a high level of protection against moisture.
  • It is also possible to treat the floor with a composition having penetrating and penetrating properties, which provides excellent protection. It should be processed every 10 years, then your storage will be protected.
Attention: in order to provide reliable protection during the treatment with penetrating compounds, it is necessary to carry out grooves with a perforator in the place where the floor joins the wall. You should also clear the pipe exit section, which will then need to be closed with a special solution. This will provide an additional level of protection in problem areas.
We talked about the most famous methods of pouring the base into the repository, you need to opt for the most appropriate method in your conditions.

Brick coating

  The next known method of covering the floor in the storage is full red brick. He will help to arrange a steady and beautiful floor. This coating is carried out mainly by two methods. We will tell about each detail.
  Stone floor in the cellar The first method is known because, according to experts, the coating “breathes”:
  • First you need to cook and level the floor.
  • Then we make a pillow from 10 to 15 cm thick from gravel or gravel, then we carry out tamping.
  • Now you need to prepare a solution of clay, the consistency of which will resemble the dough. Clay is laid on the base of approximately 20 cm.
  • Then we lay brick on the clay and lower it slightly. It is necessary to lay it in the dressing and should be installed very tightly to each other. Check each brick, so that there are no bulges on it. If any, they need to knock down.
  • The technology of laying the base in ancient ways is not complicated enough. Once the floor is dry, it can be used.
The second method of laying a brick is used when the groundwater level is near, and you need floor waterproofing:
  • First, we lay a pillow of gravel and sand with a thickness of 10-15 cm, then we tamp it down.
  • Then you should lay a layer of clay or proceed to the floor with bitumen and pasting with roofing material.
  • Then we start laying the brick, a cement solution is used for this - the material should be slightly recessed, thus all storage is covered.
  • After a few days, the floor will need to wet, then fill the joints with a solution with a brush or a broom. The top of the seams is filled with a liquid solution.

Clay coating

  There are different opinions about how to make the floor in the store, but clay coating is always considered the best method. It is necessary to find the necessary amount of high-quality clay. Do not use low-quality material under any circumstances - this will not allow you to arrange a safe floor in the cellar.
Recommendation: it is difficult to determine the quality of the material yourself, so consult with a specialist.
The work is done in this order:
  • You need to prepare and level the surface of the floor.
  • Then install a pillow of clay and crushed stone with a thickness of 10-15 cm, you can cover the crushed stone with bitumen and set it as a base.
  • Next, a layer of roofing material or other material for waterproofing is covered, making overlaps on the walls.
  • Above it is necessary to lay a second layer of clay, while its thickness should not be less than 5 cm. You can also add crushed stone to it.
  • When the surface is dry, there may be cracks, they should be covered with a solution of clay and lime.
This coating is similar to the flooring in the old cellar, it can also be attributed to environmentally friendly, in this store will be a good atmosphere.

Wood floor

  In the case when your storage is located in a dry place, the device floor in it will be significantly easier. Then you can make the floor wooden and the cellar will have a wonderful atmosphere. The order of work is as follows:
  • Level the floor, then it needs to be covered with rubble, in which clay or bitumen is added to protect the cellar from the humidity of the groundwater.
  • Then you can use rolled waterproofing large-thickness construction film.
  • Now you should start laying the lags, they are made from a 10x10 cm timber, then check the level of the surface plane.
  • The final stage - mounting boards, performed with screws.
  You can also make wooden ceiling and walls of the cellar - the storage will be cozy. The floor above the cellar will be its ceiling, therefore it is advisable to make it wooden.

Natural stone and ceramic floor tiles in the cellar

Such a floor is made by the owners who want the cellar to be reliable and beautiful. Paving looks attractive, but using it is not very convenient, it is better to take a smooth material. Advantageous will be the use of ceramic tiles, which should be laid on concrete. The floor will be level, safe and protected from moisture. Now you have instructions on how to choose your gender. You shouldn't make a decision right away, you have to think it over and weigh it. See photos and videos on this topic. Decide whether to concrete or better to make a stone.

What methods can be brought out of the cellar frogs?

  • Preparatory work
  • Mechanical methods
  • Chemical methods of eliminating frogs

Frogs are to a certain extent our friends, since these amphibians destroy harmful insects and slugs in basements and cellars. However, if the number of frogs becomes widespread, it becomes a problem. You do not need the presence of frogs in the case when in the cellar you do not have slugs and a lot of insects.

To start the fight with the frogs, think carefully: will not the destruction of new problems bring them?

If not, then you can safely get down to business. But before we talk about how to bring the frogs in the cellar, you need to prepare for this, so that everything goes effectively.

The anatomical structure of the frog.

Preparatory work

So, before you get down to business, you need to prepare the cellar. To begin, remove all containers with water and other liquids. This is especially true of stagnant water, which very much attracts toads. In the event that accumulations of moisture periodically appear on the cellar floor, you will even have to work on the reorganization of the floor. The fact is that even if you bring existing frogs out of the basement or cellar, the presence of water will attract new individuals there.

Drawing of a stuffed trap.

In addition, you need to restore order in the cellar. Take out all the food stocks and carefully sweep the existing trash. It will also be ideal to clean the furniture in the cellar. The same applies to the plot near the cellar. If there is high vegetation in the area around the cellar (especially weeds and any marsh grass), then it will have to be cut off or completely removed. After all, frogs do not like to be seen, and thickets attract them very much. Frogs do not want to be selected to the cellar through a completely open area.

Also, make sure that there are no animal feeders around a cellar within a radius of approximately 2 m. Oddly enough, but even this food is very attractive for some species of toads. It is also important not to leave the lights near the cellar for a long time at night. After all, the accumulation of insects will provoke the accumulation of frogs.

So, after such simple preparatory work can be taken to the main methods of removal from the cellar or basement of frogs. There are various effective ways to deal with them. And they are all completely different. . Having examined in more detail each of the proposed methods, you will be able to choose for yourself the most optimal and suitable option for how to get rid of frogs.

Mechanical methods

The scheme of making a net.

Method one is the mechanical removal of frogs in the cellar. The easiest way to do this is to catch them with a butterfly net for butterflies. Just catch them in the net, then put them in a bucket, which you must cover with a lid. There should be some water in the bucket to keep the frogs alive. After you catch all the living creatures in this way, bring the frogs to a river or pond and release them there.

This method is more suitable for such cellars, from which you can easily remove all the small furniture. After all, if there are many places in the room where frogs can hide, it will be quite problematic to catch them in this way.

In addition, check all the containers with water that were in the cellar. After all, there may be tadpoles. If you find them, then the water along with the still small amphibians must also be carried and poured into the river or the marsh.

The second way is to install standard traps. This mechanical method of hatching frogs is already less humane, but rather effective. This is a great option for the cellar, which has many hard-to-reach places. The most reliable trap will be an ordinary mousetrap. You will need several such mousetraps. Each of them must be placed bait. As bait you can use the same products as for mice. Mousetraps should be placed at the entrance to the cellar, as well as in all hard-to-reach places on the cellar floor. Pay particular attention to the places under the furniture and corners. Usually there frogs love to inhabit the most.

Indirect and preventive methods

The device of an electromechanical trap for insects.

The third method refers to the indirect or prophylactic removal of frogs. So it turns out, because it consists in removing all insects from the cellar. Logically, if there are no insects, then there will be no frogs, because there will be nothing to eat them.

To overcome insects, you need to place traps for them. For this purpose, it is best to place two special insect traps in the form of lamps in the cellar. Their essence lies in the fact that inside the trap there is a poisonous bait, to which insects fly and crawl. But once inside such a “lamp” they cannot get out of there and die there.

Such traps must be placed in two places: at the entrance and in the middle of the cellar near the lamp. It is very convenient to hang a trap. You will see how, especially near the lamp in the central part of the cellar, there will be a huge amount of insects destroyed. Only one condition: do not forget to close the entrance door when you turn on the lamp. This will make it possible to avoid newly emerging insects from the street.

Method four - arrangement of the fence. This method is more relevant to preventive measures. But it is very desirable to use it, especially if you have already taken amphibians from the cellar and do not want them to appear there again.

The scheme of use of the grid the chain-link for production of sections of a protection from toads.

In order to properly equip the fence, you first need to choose the right grid. It should be borne in mind that the height of the grid should be at least 1.5 m. This is due to the fact that frogs can jump high enough. Mesh cells should not be large. Therefore, it is best to choose a mesh for a chain-link type fence.

It is possible to install such a fence from toads around the cellar at a distance of about 2-3 meters from it. When installing, be sure to take care that the net is taut on pegs, which should be sufficiently tightly hammered into the soil. Fencing absolutely from all sides should closely adjoin the earth, otherwise all your labors will be in vain.

This fence is recommended to arrange only in those cases if your cellar is built in an area where there are always a large number of frogs, which makes it very difficult to fight them. Under normal conditions, this kind of fence is optional, as some owners may even bring some inconvenience.

Frogs can be called harmless creatures, but one does not like them, while others feel fear when they are seen. In order not to be afraid to go into the cellar and to your home, you should learn how to get rid of frogs, then you will be able to forget about the existence of these amphibians in a short time and practically not to meet with them. There are few ways that can help get rid of frogs in the house or cellar, the most humane will be to catch individuals with the help of a net, there are still popular methods involving the use of salt, coffee, citric acid and poison. *************************************** SAME WATCH THE BEST RECIPES.

Check territory. It is impossible to get rid of frogs if there is a reservoir on the site. These creatures settle in places where humidity is high, so this factor should be taken into account. When there is no pond near, and amphibians still come into the house or climb into the cellar, it means that the room is humid or there is plenty of water. If it is not possible to remove it, it is necessary to close the gaps and ensure good ventilation. These measures will remove excess moisture and prevent frogs in the house and cellar. *************************************** SAME WATCH THE BEST RECIPES.

Mechanical method. You can get rid of frogs in the following way, which will require a butterfly net and a bucket of water and a lid. It is necessary to catch individuals and plant them in a container. After that, amphibians are recommended to be released into the nearest pond or swamp. Before you start fishing, you need to remove furniture and banks in the cellar. If there is water in the room, then it is important to check all tanks for tadpoles. He will soon turn into frogs and they will have to be caught again. The offspring of amphibians is also desirable to carry to the reservoir.

Mousetrap. Mousetraps helped many to get rid of frogs. To some, this method may not seem very humane, but the device will not kill the amphibian, it is easy to release it later and carry it to the reservoir. To get rid of frogs, it is recommended to put bread, cheese, and better locust or grasshopper in a mousetrap. After that, the traps are placed in the room. For a week you can catch all amphibians and mice. This method is considered very effective and allows you to quickly get rid of the problem. *************************************** SAME WATCH THE BEST RECIPES. SEE THE REFERENCE ***************************************

Salt. To get rid of frogs, it is recommended to use ordinary table salt. The mechanism of action here is very simple: the substance does not kill an amphibian, but only burns its paws. Soon, the individuals will realize that hunting in the cellar or on the plot gives them discomfort and will not visit these places anymore. To get rid of frogs in this case is simple, for this you will need to abundantly sprinkle salt on the floor of the room or the ground in the garden. When amphibians cease to appear there, it remains only to sweep the cellar. Poisons If amphibians are not going to leave the territory, then the only way to get rid of the frogs would be to apply poison. Insecticides or herbicides intended for toads work well on them. If they are not in the store, then you can go the easy way. You should make coffee from natural raw materials of medium strength and search for the room. The smell of the drink will scare away amphibians, but in some cases it can provoke a cardiac arrest. Citric acid solution has similar properties. Tips Before you get rid of the frogs, you should think carefully. Amphibians bring great benefits to the site. They destroy a huge number of insects. If you expel individuals, it is likely that there will be more serious problems, the solution of which will have to spend more time and effort. For this reason, it is better not to be afraid of frogs and get used to the neighborhood with them. *************************************** SAME WATCH THE BEST RECIPES. LOOK AT THE REFERENCE
