I use a number 2 wood now as I broke the 9 iron but if you choose a pitching wedge or a sand wedge you could launch them into next doors and save yourself the bother of removing the bodies ;)

I was almost going to type that without reading all the responses, and as I hate my neighbour it would defiantly be a wedge.

Do you own any sort of pet?

You'll soon change your mind when your pet dies because of the scum of the earth canetoads :mad: .

Hi MrsDagboy

I put that before I read about them, see the post after.

Sorry about your friends dog, I had 2 cats but we have rehomed them, the little buggers dont miss us at all apparently, which I am happy about really. mind you they could have taken a little bit longer to get over us, I creid for weeks.

The caring people at Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary advise death slowly in the freezer as they should not be here and will kill anything that touches them including all the native wildlife. If they say kill, I would agree. Unfortunately I haven't seen one yet :D Tiddler does have three small frogs as friends though - she has small bowls of water outside one of the screen doors and watches them have baths :rolleyes:

OTOH not sure I could kill one when she was watching :eek:

I like this line "For this method to be humane, cane toads should be knocked unconscious by a single blow to the head, followed by decapitation"

So that would be the 7 iron to the head followed by the garden shredder!!

I have found 3 in my garden in the last 2 years so I am prepared to put up with them and let them live...They do me no harm and we do not own a pet so no point killing them really, poor little things.
I think even if we had a pet I could not kill the poor little things, how can you all bring yourself to do it? :(

Face thy enemy.
Contact under the chin or head from in front.

Means no splatter from the poison sacks on the shoulders. :eek:

Gives teenagers an excuse to wander the streets at night. :D

My best mate, who is a Queenslander, reckons the best approach is to use a golf club. I've often wondered if this had any impact to his current handicap.

Just as a matter of interest, what colour are the frogs?
