Also see our Frogs and Toads of Florida website. Usually the only frogs that cause a serious problem are the exotic species called Marine toad and Cuban treefrog. However, during the breeding season, the calling from breeding frogs can be so loud that it can disturb your sleep. For ideas on coping with breeding frog calls and exotic species, see our FAQs about Frogs and Toads.
