Whacking them with a cricket bat does the job nicely and is quite satisfying.......

I've licked a few things in my time, but I draw the line at toads.

My weapon of choice is a 5 iron you get good distance and a little elevation to clear the fence.

Doing wonders for my golf game.

Trust me - they will simply get up & hop away a few minutes later! :scared:

They are almost indestructable - running over them or some form of bat/club is the only physical way to kill them.

I've heard Dettol works well, but havent got a chance to try it yet, Dagboy's always too quick to practice his golf!

Alot of people stick them in the freezer and then put them out with the bins. Apparently this is humane.

Not for the kiddies though.
They've got something even better, have you seen a Cosmic Smash or a Grape Bender? The Paddle Pops Rainbow is a psychedelic as it gets!

Just found this funny website all about cane toads, and downloaded a short computer animated film (4 mins ish)

I have never laughed so much in my life! It had me and hubby in stitches!

http://www.cane-toad.com/movie.php

....some of the methods they showed seemed so familiar. I can't think why?

We had a huge one living in our garden.
Personally I don't like killing anything unless necessary but with small kids and a puppy that all wanted to play with it along with a terrified wife (not scared of spiders though!) I had to get rid of it.
Besides, it kept triggering all my light sensors on so my garden was like a disco..
It really was big!

First weapon to hand was tennis racquet.
As I cornered it, wife and kids behind me, it jumped towards me and I took a swing. It must have gone 20 ft at least straight up as we cowered not knowing where it would land! Landed on the decking with a thud, bounced off into the drive way, a further 10 ft drop.
It just hopped away!

Next day, it was back in it's hole in the garden.

It came out at night and the tennis bat was missing. Next available weapon was the swimming pool net. It was clobbered a zillion times resulting in now broken swimming pool net!
It jumped out through the fence into the drive again.

Covered it in salt. Didn't seem to mind at first but just stood still.

Finally, ran over with car.

It's dead now!

Hoping for golf clubs or cricket bat as pressie!

Andrew
