how do you kill a cane toad??
 
The wife reckons she can cope with everything except the removal of the cane toads...I have visions of coming home to a box full of the things so am after any suggestions for how people are disposing of the said creatures. :D :D

If they're on the road they make a lovely bang as you ride over them ;)

The only safe way is a satellite guided missile

Glad they're not in Victoria yet !!! But I'm sure they're on their way :(

Give it a couple of weeks ;)


The official method is to catch them and put them in a bag in the freezer but I don't fancy that :eek: A woman at work says that when she was a kid her mother's freezer was always full of the beasts :scared:

Not a clue, I am frightened of frogs and toads too, they are just so ugly.

Good luck!! ;)

My lovely charming daughter and her even more charming friend poured salt over there back and watched them explode, I don't think she has done it again in a hurry, We personally think throwing rocks at tham work ok they soon scarper.
