Why Frogs Are Appearing In Tampa Area Toilets This Month

When ya gotta go, the last thing you wanna see when you lift that lid is a frog. But surprise! Welcome to summer in Florida. So why have these amphibians moved in to your pooper? They like the AC as much as you do. The heat drives frogs this time of year to find a cool spot to chill out.

One suggestion is to put a leaf strainer or screening fabric over any openings or vents. A radio friend of mine who dealt with this a few years ago says, “This is why I had mesh installed over my drain pipes at my old house. Fixed the frog toilet problem. Never happened again.”

Want more good news? A neighbor of mine warned that if you don’t deal with the frogs in your toilet issue right away, snakes sometimes follow the frogs because they’re “looking for a snack.”

Geno’s 10 favorite Clearwater dining spots!

• Cristino’s

  Share

  Hands down one of the best pizzas in the world. The first time I had Cristino's, it was so good that when I visited NYC the following week I didn't even look for pizza.

• Teriyaki Madness

  Share

  I've waited so long for them to open a location in Pinellas. It finally happened a few months ago. Get the spicy chicken with noodles and a side of crab rangoon!

• Bangkok Clearwater

  Share

  The Chicken Pad Thai is top notch. It even tastes better the next day as a leftover!
• Don Pancho Villa

  Share

  Growing up in Maine, I was never a big Mexican food fan. But after living in California for a few years, I got hooked... and THEN I moved back to Florida where great Mexican food is hard to find. I have two places that are never fail: Miguel's on Kennedy in Tampa and Don Pancho Villa in Clearwater. It's far from fancy. But it's great!

• Frenchy’s

  Share

  It's all about those grouper nuggets with some fresh lemon squeezed over the top!

• Columbia Restaurant

  Share

  I do love the Ybor location most, but I'll go anywhere for that 1905 Salad! And if you know me well, if I'm raving about a SALAD, it's gotta be good.
• Wingstop

  Share

  I like their wings, but I LOVE their fries. Perfectly seasoned. Back when I lived in California, this was my Super Bowl food every year. So glad they're popping up in Florida.

• Taziki’s Mediterranean Cafe

  Share

  Their signature pasta is incredibly good. It's cool pasta with grilled chicken in a balsamic glaze with feta crumbles. Thing is they serve it only on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

• Cousin’s Lobster

  Share

  Being a kid from Maine, finding legit lobster rolls in Florida isn't easy. These guys are SUPER legit... even down to the whoopie pies. Yes, whoopie pies. They have them. If you're from here, you may not even know what they are.
• Abe’s Place

  Share

  The wings. It's all about the wings. I don't have a pic of their wings though. I don't remember where these ones came from. But I'm sure they weren't as good.
