@El Presidente Finally something that won't move after you spray it with HopStop!

Rob spraying cane toads this summer...

[Chibearsv]

Do cane toads have fangs or poison?  Or does the spray just disburse the mob?  I’ve never heard of spraying toads. Spiders, hornets, and yellowjackets, yes. But toads?

They are poisonous but not venomous. They are an invasive species making a mess of local ecosystems, though a former colleague on that side of the puddle wrote a good paper on the co evolution of local snake species to a greater tolerance for their toxicity, allowing predation. The commercially available spray is a humane euthanasia agent for amphibians.

Just make sure you read the instructions, unlike a certain Queenslander who shall not be named , and spray the toad twice. First time is to anaesthetise, then spray it again once it stops moving to ensure the kill. And don't pop it into the kitchen garbage to take out the next morning, for your partner to wake up to a toad trying to hop out of a plastic bag.
