They are PAR for the COURSE if you have ponds.
We scoop most of the eggs out but not all ... Frogs are an indicator species in the environment and if they are around you know that a good chunck of the environment is fine.
I say tollerate them and cull some eggs but allow some to breed. The tadpoles does a great job on the algae.
Not many fish will eat the eggs and tadpoles.
On the plus side ... the frogs does a mammoth job in keeping your garden clean of insects.
