It’s an easy solution, just put in a bunch of non-poisonous water snakes they will take care of those frogs in no time.

Someone should donate some foam inserts for her neighbors

They need to livestream the french coppers rounding up frogs.

No nets, only hand caught frogs count.

Replace the frogs with imported big city muslims and see how the neighbors like that.

Currently there seems to be a concerted effort in France to rid the country of frogs so that new management can do as it pleases.

Frog complains to Frog about frogs and frogs are deployed to talk to frog about frogs.

Such a confusing language!

My neighbor made a small pond with a waterfall a number of years ago. The frogs are incredibly loud all night long. When it rains, they’re doubly loud. I even saw a Great blue heron there inspecting the menu. I really enjoy the frog sounds. I also enjoy the sound of cicadas and crickets and birds, especially thrushes and owls. Roosters and dogs not so much. I don’t care for frog legs.

With muslim riots across half the country, I wonder how much French police appreciate emergency noisy frog complaints...

In the unlikely event the 92 year old lady just recently installed the pond and noisy frogs, maybe neighbors have something to be irked about. If the frogs predate the arrival of the complainers, this sounds like a case of valuable wetlands. Police should chuck the whiners into the pond for wasting their time and being AHs to an old lady.

I once built a koi pond outside my bedroom window. Eventually the frogs found the pond. They made a God awful noise. One night I got out of bed, got a bucket, put every frog I could find in bucket, took bucket to a deserted area down the road, dumped bucket. No more frog problem.

“And I always heard that the French enjoyed frogs”

May be they just loved cooked frog legs. I LOVED frog legs but it’s been decades since Mrs. Paul’s has sold them.

Went looking for them on restaurant menu is my area but it’s a no go.

Fried and dipped in butter is heaven.

Reminds me of a story in Omaha where a housing development went in next to a hog farm and the neighbors sued because of the smell.

How pleasant.

I honestly clicked on this thread expecting a group of FRs mental patients to be purging themselves all over the thread.

If someone had used the word for “the useless crop of grass in front of the house”... pshhht! NO! Dont say it. The word summons...THEM...they get all hysterical about them buying into property values nonsense and and well, I dont know, I suppose one of them could make up a story about their sister and her contagious frog borne disease or something.

Maybe the Eightch-Ohh!-Aye contingent have been fortunate enough to find their final resting place or joined a friendly compound of fellow nazis.

Ive intentionally moved far out to be part of a BFE to do pretty much anything I damn well please and avoid these people. Every once in a while some rich moron decides hes going to try the Green Acres thing and tries to bring the city out here and its always a circus until they leave.

I really love my frogs and the other visitors to my place. Well, I can think of some places I would like to relocate some of the foxes and coyotes to where they can dine on roaming cats and other bait animals but otherwise its nice.

Maybe the neighborhood can buy out neighbor and send him to a flat in town or maybe they can buy out grandma and send her to a nice village in the middle third of France. Theres hardly anyone out there and I doubt the locals would mind her pond.

France is a cradle to grave socialist society but I think we have identified another right that has yet to be recognized. Just as all those old folks over there have paid in with the promise of being taken care of so therefor should have a right to a nice cool mountain retirement vacation village for the summer so they dont cook to death, they should also have the right to environmentally agreeable living locations. Either the police should move the man to a downtown apartment or grandma should have the police move her to the country or maybe both as would be correct in a just authoritarian socialist utopia.

In the US we have these things called "windows". At night you can close these "windows" and keep the night sounds outside.

Ferry is excited to see what happens next, as the French police assured her that someone will return to apprehend the frogs from her property.

“That’ll be fun … they jump,” Ferry said.

Why would she be responsible for what wild animals do?
