SwimlineHYDROTOOLS ORIGINAL 70200 FrogLog Animal Saving Escape Ramp For Pools & Spas | For All Small Animals Entering The Pool | Heavy Duty Material & Long Lasting | Reduces Pool Maintenance

I waited to review this product after ordering a couple in the beginning of the pool season to see if they actually work. They do!! I sadly had found a few chipmunks :( and a frog clinging to the top of the skimmer basket in the first week after the pool was opened.I installed the frog logs (easy to do) and am happy to report not a single critter was found in the pool for the rest of the pool season!! I also noticed far less bugs floating in the pool. I guess they find their way onto the logs as well.Highly recommend!!

This product was insanely easy to set up and has given me such peace of mind. I’ve had an instant and drastic improvement in the a lot of wildlife I find unfortunately either passed away or struggling in the pool. After putting this out, I have not come outside to see one animal of any kind in our pool even once. Amazing.

First time homeowner and pool owner. We had frogs suiciding themselves on repeat, so I gave this a try. Stopped finding frogs in the pool and skimmer. I took it out once it started getting cold, but apparently it wasn't cold enough; the next day a frog was on the bottom of the pool (fortunately still alive and I fished him out). I put it back in, and again no frogs. I've never seen a frog use it to escape, but I believe they must be using it. We had a dead frog every few days before.

So far, no critters in my skimmer! This season I would have expected 2-3 birds, a rabbit, and a few frogs to be floating in my skimmer, but there has been nothing since putting this in my pool. I placed mine a few feet down from the skimmer, and I guess that's working ok even though I technically need two of these for my pool size. But so far, no critters, so I'm happy! That said, this is like the water cooler for wolf spiders, so there are 5-6 huge spiders congregated on this thing at all times, waiting for bugs to get caught in the netting at the bottom for easy dinner. You annoy one of those spiders and about a thousand babies come out of it, so having a nice place for them that's not easy to clean out is a bit annoying. But overall, I'd rather deal with a tiny bit of daily annoyance (hit the thing with my net a few times and scoop up all the bugs) than have to deal with disposing of dead animals. So, overall it's a win.Update 2020: Last season went well too, with nothing but one snake in the skimmer. I noticed when checking everything out prior to this season that the foam platform is a bit worse for wear, but it will probably last one more year. I consider this a good deal. So, 4 seasons of use out of something that sits in water and sunlight for half the year is pretty good. I appreciate no more gross dead critters in my skimmer.

I installed this frog log after having 20+ bats fly into my pool one night this summer, many of which couldn’t get out. I then wanted more and purchased two off branded “frog logs”, to save on cost. The original frog log has held up perfectly, whereas the off branded ones will not last a second season. These have been in the pool nearly the same amount of time and the original still looks new!Even better, I’ve only found one dead frog in my skimmer in the 3.5 months that I’ve had these installed- I used to find at least one almost every day. I’ll definitely be buying more for next summer!

these have worked out perfectly. I spent a long time researching. There has not been a single animal or reptile- not one time – since I put these two out, and before that it was weekly, if not daily. I was getting up in the morning and worrying about what little creature is drowning and running outside to save them every day. Now I no longer have to worry! because of their placement, the one in the open pool area has got caught up in our pool robot cord two times in the last three months. Not a big deal, but the one time we were out of town and the pool robot pulled the little frog log around enough to open the Velcro and the rocks fell out. The solution to this would be to not overfill the pouch with rocks lol. I kind of prefer mine to have as many rocks as possible in order to be a little heavier, so instead of taking the rocks out, I stitched it with a needle and thread, so there's no way for the rocks to fall out again. they didn't even move during a tropical storm. I think it's 100% worth it, but they do block a little bit of the long stemmed Pineneedles that would normally flow into the skim basket. I mean, obviously, you have to put the frog logs in front of the skimmer where the animals are going to get dragged, so this is just a trade off. This doesn't bother me at all – I'd rather take a handful of pineneedles from next to the frog log every once in awhile, then stick my hand in the skimmer basket anyways. really a great product.

For years we have considered getting these to save our lizards. Usually think of it after scooping one out and forget by the time I get in the house. After saving tiny lizards two days in a row I marched in and ordered one. As little as the recent victims were not sure if they would be able to climb out, I hope so with the skirt of netting. (I just attached a picture of one of our saved lizards because he is cute.) To install the only thing you have to do is blow up the bladder, slip in some plastic pieces for the bridge and fill up the pouch with pebbles or rocks. The canvas it is made of is heavy and feels and looks well made. We will see if it holds up and saves our critters.

At least we think it does because we had a few dead ones prior and none since. And we’ve got allot of lizards! Looks good as well.

If you get any sort of little creatures in your pool, this is for you! We were on vacation in Florida and saw these. I order them immediately. Frogs, squirrels, mice, moles...any little thing that falls in (and around here, they fall in a LOT) will eventually find it's way to the pad and, at the very least, have a safe place to sit until I can get them out. (Some creatures don't seem to get that they can climb up the little mesh and be on their way so they just sit there). It works great and I don't have to take little dead things out of my skimmer every day. And the other best part...you get to see that frogs, mice, and other little creatures can all get along on the same 'boat' together until help arrives. :-)

Super facil de inflar y ensamblar (que en realidad no tiene mucho ensamblaje). Le pusimos una piedra pesada como contra peso. De momento no hemos visto ningún animalito pero espero que con esto ya no se ahoguen más en la piscina.

J'ai acheté mon premier Froglog il y a environ 3 ans car je trouvais régulièrement des grenouilles mortes dans ma piscine. Depuis, je n'ai plus retrouvé d'animal mort, hormis récemment un tout petit lézard qui n'a peut-être pas eu le temps de se familiariser avec cette planche de salut... Froglog est apparemment d'un grand confort pour les grenouilles puisqu'elles sont maintenant plusieurs à s'être installées aux abords de la piscine: quand la filtration est en route elles s'accrochent ou grimpent sur le Froglog et attendent que çà s'arrête, ou regagnent le petit bassin d'eau qui se trouve à 2 mètres de la piscine... Je viens de racheter 2 Froglog supplémentaires pour permettre à des animaux moins agiles de trouver un refuge plus proche en cas de chute. J'ai hésité avec d'autres marques, bien moins chères, mais les dimensions indiquées n'étaient pas claires et Froglog est parfait au niveau des dimensions, facile d'installation et extrêmement robuste puisque le premier tient encore la route après 3 ans d'immersion non-stop dans la piscine (hormis la couleur, le bleu est maintenant délavé)... De plus la livraison est ultra-rapide! ... Je regrette juste que Froglog ne propose pas de prix dégressifs si l'on en achète plusieurs, j'en aurais sans doute racheté 3 au lieu de 2 s'il y avait eu un effort sur le prix....

Perfetto, adesso avendo acquistato e testato il prodotto, posso dire che tutti quei poveri ricci, rospi, topini ecc che trovavo morti nello skimmer della piscina non ci sono più, o semplicemente riescono ad uscire da soli come nella maggior parte dei casi o comunque si riparano sul galleggiante e poi io li aiuto a salire. Ottimo e comodissimo

Es ist schwer zu beurteilen, ob es stattgefunden hätte, wenn ein Ereignis nicht stattgefunden hat. Soll heißen, keine tote Maus mehr im Pool, seit Froglog vorhanden ist. Ich konnte aber kein Tierchen bewegen, dass nicht ertrunken war, ein Interview zu geben. Was ich selbst schon beobachtet habe, bei Insekten, über deren Wohlbefinden wir uns schließlich auch Gedanken machen sollten, funktioniert es einwandfrei. Sie klettern einfach raus. Wir haben bei einer Poolabmessung von 6,5 m x 7,5 m zwei Stück installiert, einen davon direkt neben dem Skimmer. Vom Handling her einfach, das Sandsäckchen hält gut am Rand.
