Today I was looking around my garden and noticed this frog in between two of my tomato plants:

What should I do? I wouldnt mind leaving it alone as long as it isnt harmful, but since I have strawberries growing close to the tomatoes, I dont want to be eating what this guy just crawled over. If they are a problem, how would I go about killing them in a relatively humane way, or atleast leading them to some other area?
 
It's not harmful - see how healthy your plant foliage is. I think it's very sweet. It will hop away eventually. I think it's a Pacific tree frog? They hunt by climbing around on plants, but they are clean and not poisonous. I wish I had one : )
 
He doesn't look harmful, I love frogs but I am not a frog expert. I would recomend looking up harmful frogs in your local area, either county or state. We have tons of frogs, they eat the bugs and the birds eat them. It's a cycle. I wouldn't recomend getting a snake espeically if you live in town. And it's only one frog, that wouldn't be worth getting a snake. If you really want to get rid of it, a lower grade level teacher usually will take them, but since it's summer time you might not have that option. I say keep em if it's not dangerous.
 
Leave him. Frogs eat insects.
As to "not eating what this guy crawled over", what
about all the bugs that crawl all over anything in a garden?
Wash your produce Dude!
Your immune system gets enough challenges as it is.
 
Frogs in your garden is good, they eat harmful insects that eat your veggie plants. I hope you do wash the straw berries. I welcome fogies in my garden.
 
frogs don't eat plants, they eat harmful bugs that eat your plants...when you pick the strawberries, wash them.............
 
If you don't want him in there then trap him and move him a few doors down. Also he won't eat your veggies or anything he eats flies, insects, and also mosquito's! Hope that helps!
 
IKf you see it grab a big blanket throw it on him then tie it in a knot drive out by a lake and untie it
