I don't have tree frogs in my garden just ordinary toads, so if anyone finds a regimen that works on these pests I'll be happy to try it. Some chemical sprays seem to kill in significant numbers but only at concentrations that damage new growth on tomatoes. I have found the best results with alternating sprays of different things like soaps, oils(neem, canola, and dormant), and essential oil of peppermint and clove (a teaspoon to a gallon with soap to emulsify). The only problem is you have to do this every few days and never let up until cold weather arrives. I can wear out a good sprayer in one season.
