A couple years ago I found a dead, dessicated toad inside the house. No biggie, thinks I. He got in under a screen or whatever. About a year later I found another - in one of my toilets. This time he was quite alive. No biggie, thinks I. He found his way in under a screen and hopped into the john. A few months ago I found TWO in different toilets. Now it's getting weird, I'm thinking I may need to call in a priest or something. A few days ago I found another, in a toilet.
I recently had a plumber over for some unrelated work and asked him about this. He had never heard of such a thing. I live on a hill, with several homes upstream from me. I am on city sewer service. I figure they are getting into a sewer manhole (located in the street), breeding there, and the little guys eventually find their way into my house. Or, the house is cursed. There seem to be no other alternatives. Should I burn the house down, GD? If yes, before or after the exorcism? You are my last hope, GD.  Attached File |

I’ve found frogs roosting in the top few feet of my roof pipes, while I was up there doing unrelated work. I guess I’m fortunate that they haven’t popped up in my toilets, lol. They can make some real racket inside those pipes, too.

Toads pose no harm. Consider yourself blessed with a small relocation issue. Hell if they came in via the shit tunnel they deserve to live.

We had a huge one covered in poo come up one of our toilets. The wife’s screaming was epic and I remind her of it from time to time. I think it came in via the septic tank.

Giant, deadly, poo-covered toads attack suburban neighborhood, police cannot respond because they've been defunded. It almost writes itself.

Have Gloria over for drinks and then you can work the conversation towards the emotional distress she is about to encounter , after a trip to the restroom. |

Coworker got some chemicals splashed on his uniform and decided to go to our change room to get a shower. After getting there, he decided to drop a deuce before hitting the shower. The toilets in the change room didn’t get used very much and that chemical plant was infested with tree frogs. About the time he sat down on the toilet, a tree frog was underneath the lid. It hopped off the lid and latched on to his sack. Having a cold, wet tree frog attach itself to that part of the body is a pretty good adrenaline rush apparently, because he jumped up and broke the stall door lock and one of the hinges. When we went to change after our shift was over, sure enough, the door was hanging by one hinge.
