Nailed these two last 10 minutes in bright daylight. If they are this brazen, their numbers must be way up. I see another 2 month war of attrition coming.
Pesting- their back!

no idea if it’s been suggested or if your specific situation but also look at why they are there in high numbers in the first place. If there is anything you can change on what is attracting them, this can help reduce numbers with little effort

An excellent question! I have 2 issues, one being a negligent neighbor that lets their property go wild with rubbish cluttering the property as well as an old garage that hasn’t been opened in years. Second is my friends devout dedication to operating several bird feeders year round with tray feeders on the ground. Lastly my friend has wood piled across some sections of back yard and that provides cover for the squeaky bastards to begin burrows under them. I saw one yesterday afternoon going into a wood pile and upon removing the wood, found a nice burrow entrance. Followed by the 2 this morning, it’ll be shooting, snap traps and strategically placed poison.

Buckets make a big difference. We had a cattle pastute next to us before, which wasn'tso bad, and now is corn. It is much worse with the corn but we get alot in a couple 5gal buckets that keeps them at bay. I just put em all in the compost when i empty the buckets. We try to avoid any poison for the rest of the wildlife. Birds and such,birds are tiny dinosaurs anyway.

I think y'all are looking at this the wrong way. He has targets! Now the question should be, "where to set the bait station?"
Suggesting a cat... What are you thinking??

Right ! I hear you . Last year I took out over two hundred from a satellite barn( young heifers & steers )on the dairy & this year was over 100. The farmer's happy ,, but I'm short on targets !!I think y'all are looking at this the wrong way. He has targets! Now the question should be, "where to set the bait station?"

I do some invasive species removal and would like to pick your brain. If you wouldn't mind emailing me at [email protected] as I am still waiting on my 10 days to start a conversation.

Despite the seriousness of invasives....
Treks your email address gave me a laugh only because it made me remember the most hilarious documentary I've ever seen. Worth watching for me if only for the scene with the guy swerving a VW bus all over the road popping toads as he rolls over them. It cracks me up every time.
Cane Toad An Unnatural History
Do they get huge in FL? I'm guessing they make a nice pop when you shoot one.

For what it’s worth you’re not the only one! About 1 in 100 people will bring up that video. Gated communities are very popular down here and many a gate guard has told me how they purposefully swerve to smoosh them when driving. I am attaching a photo of a big boy from a couple weeks back. They can certainly get to 9 inches when measured from nose to butt (not stretching them). For the cane toads we do a fridge\freeze method. The trucks are equipped with portable Engle fridges and they go into the dedicated freezers at the end of the night. We recently started offering iguana removal (tons of fun) and PCP’s have been an amazing solution. .25’s slap the iguanas pretty good, I couldn’t imagine the cleanup for a cane toad
