We work on a few of the local golf courses removing them, when in season up here. Most complaints are about the noise keeping the homeowners awake at night. We have found gigging them at night to be the most effective way in a short period of time. If you decide to choose this route, I will shorten your learning curve a little. This is the gig to buy, very nice high quality item. We used these in Florida on the airboats when commercial frogging. They are aluminum and extend to 16 feet. It sounds like a long way, but on those ponds if you want to reach out and touch someone, this will do it. Nothing worse than a big bullfrog one foot farther away than you can reach.
