Frog Log Escape Devices for Small Animals in Pools (2)

This is a very nice item for animal lovers like myself or for people who are just annoyed with getting so many dead frogs/insects or animals in their pool. I bought 2 of them, one for each end of the pool. I placed one right next to the little basket I empty since most everything ends up in there. I don't get much of anything in there though because my pool is in a screened-in area. But, there are large openings under the screen doors so many many lizards come in and acually live in my lanai. I found a mom and baby lizard (porbably not actually the mom and baby but ya lol) one night and realized I needed to get something because I feel really bad for any kind of animal that drowns because they suffer before dying. And this is when I came across this unqique, yet simple and brilliant idea of a item! It was perfect! Since I've put it in, I haven't even gotten one dead lizard or dead anything actually! So it definitley does its purpose which is such a relief! Overall, I definitley recommend this item to anyone looking to decrease the amount of dead animals and critters in their pool because it will definitley do the trick and then some! Plus, you will feel a lot better with yourself knowing you are saving little lives!

I bought two of these, one for each side of our skimmer and are using some rocks inside the pocket to hold them in place. We have an in-ground pool and we were always finding dead spiders, frogs and other insects in the skimmer. This was almost a daily occurrence. We've been using these for over a month now and haven't had one dead bug or frog in the skimmer at all!!! This makes us happy as we love the little critters (well, maybe not the spiders, but don't they deserve to live too?) I highly recommend these. As for longevity, I see others were concerned they only lasted a season. If they do, I'm fine with that. It's well worth the small investment not to have to put my hand in the skimmer and find dead bugs and frogs in it. I'd buy new ones each year if I had too, but after a month in the blazing summer sun, I see zero signs of wear or fading. Time will tell how long they will last, but they will be replaced with exact replacements when they finally do wear out. Thanks for a wonderful product!!

One morning I came out to skim the leaves off our pool.Swimming furiously toward me, with terror in his eyes, was a tiny kangaroo rat clearly pleading for help. After all, little critters in the wild don't ever come *toward* humans. I pulled the little fella out with my skimmer and laid his exhausted and waterlogged body on the ground.I came back later. He must have recovered, as he was gone.Sadly, other small animals have not been so fortunate. So we bought a pair of these escape ramps.The larger, bottom part inflates so it floats. The upper, small part that sits on the deck and anchors the unit to the surface must be filled with sand. Simple enough. I put them away during the day so the merciless desert sun won't deteriorate them.I bought a pair -- one for each side of the pool.They must work -- I have found no drowned animals in my pool.

Whoever came up with this deserves a Nobel Prize in Frogology. I purchased three of these for my ~20x40 foot pool; I placed two opposite one another on the long sides of the pool, and the third in the smaller "spa" off to the side. I put small bricks on the hanger end to hold them in place. I went from about 5 frogs per week in my pool over the last many seasons--totally gross, as well as difficult to get out with the hand skimmer (as everyone reading this knows)--to zero (0; none; not one; nada; zilch) over the entire previous summer. My wife, who is a scientist, wanted to take them out, check that we got frogs again, and then put them back in--some sort of controlled experiment to make sure it was these little devices that was the reason for no frogs, rather than other possible factors, but I refused. I'm the one who has to chase them down and get them out.

Well, this is the just the best thing ever. We had 29 dead chipmunks ( yes, we kept count) in our pool last year and I was dreading the new pool season this year. It started out just like the year before did, as we had 14 drownings before we got into June. Our niece did some research and told us about Frog Log, and I bought two of them and put them on either side of the pool down where all the chipmunk traffic was. We never had another dead chipmunk the rest of this pool season!!!! We've been truly amazed at the performance of these. Chipmunks even learned to use the ramp to go DOWN onto the floating pad to get a drink and return up. It also actually saved six or seven frogs (as advertised). I don't normally make an effort to write these but the success we had with this product definitely merits a little extra effort on my part. Thanks for a great product.

Purchased it at the beginning of the 2019 pool season. I live in the woods and got tired of rescuing toads, chipmunks, a snake, mice, various insects and the lone Opossum who didn't make it. (He was HUGE, and it was a scene getting him out.) So I got the Frog Log. My rescue missions reduced by about 95%!! An occasional toad missed the launch pad and ended up in the skimmer, but mostly folks got out on their own. I had one toad who would regularly camp out on the shady side of the Frog Log, lounging the day away. I wish I had invented this!!

I was finding multiple Chipmunks in my inground pool skimmers on a daily basis. It was breaking my heart. I would literally stalk my pool every half hour to try and save the poor little guys from drowning. I was ready to close my pool because I couldn't handle opening the skimmer lids and finding them every morning. My husband is an animal lover but was against that idea so we set out to find some sort of solution. I found these frog logs online and bought 8. Six on the sides and one one each end. My pool is 22x44. They've been in there for a little over a month...not a single chipmunk since. I can't express the relief I feel thanks to these super simple blow up devices. Thank you thank you thank you frog log inventor.
