Cane toads were first introduced into Florida to control agricultural pests in sugar cane in the 1930s and 40s. It is believed that current populations are the result of pet trade escapes and releases in the 1950s and 60s. Cane toads are currently found in central and south Florida, generally south of the I-4 corridor.
