Cane toads breed in standing water, laying thousands of eggs at a time. By removing tadpoles before they mature, we can dramatically reduce the toad population on your property and in your local area.
Did You Know?
A single female cane toad can lay up to 30,000 eggs at once. Removing tadpoles is one of the most effective ways to control toad populations.
Where We Find Tadpoles
- Garden ponds and water features
- Swimming pools (especially unmaintained)
- Dams and retention basins
- Drainage ditches and stormwater drains
- Pet water bowls left outside overnight
How to Identify Cane Toad Tadpoles
Cane toad tadpoles are distinctive and can be identified by:
- Colour: Jet black, much darker than native frog tadpoles
- Size: Small (usually under 3cm) even when fully developed
- Behaviour: School together in large groups
- Location: Often in shallow, warm water
Important
Don't attempt to remove tadpoles yourself without proper identification training. Native frog species are protected and it's illegal to harm them.
