Q&A: Inviting Toads
Answer: I am not aware of a commercial source for purchasing toads. Toads tend to appear in a garden all on their own if conditions are right. Toads seem to enjoy areas where there are fallen leaves and damp mulch in which they may shelter, soft soil into which they may burrow, and possibly overturned clay flower pots or little stone hideways in a cool, shady area. They also need a source of water. Toads are territorial and long-lived, so a toad will stay in your garden for an extended period of time. In a way, I suppose you could say toads like conditions quite similar to those enjoyed by slugs! Avoid pesticide sprays as much as possible, because toads are especially sensitive to them.

toads
I have toads in my back yard. They come out when it rains or stays wet for a long time. I moved here from abuot 3 miles away and I didn't have toads at my old place. I'm glad I have them. I think they do help keep bugs at bay. I have never heard of purchasing them, but I have seen them at the local pet store that has different animals including frogs. Hope thishelps some. from, Just curious too. ~A~
