A little bit late in posting, but I had gazillions of frog spawn this summer (we had so much rain). I have a cheap butterfly net - not for butterflies I promise - but perfect to snag one of those frogs. They're all Cuban in my yard. I can then get it into a plastic bag and then you can apply the numbing drops before putting in the freezer. They have spawned directly in my small pond and the goldfish take care of those. In my water features it's a different story. If I can't scoop all the eggs out, I now know now to deal with them when they are tadpoles. Works best when they are a little bigger. I just put some small pieces of bread in the water. They will be drawn to that. Can't see the bread for all the tadpoles clinging to it; looks like a black sea anemone! Then I use a small aquarium net to scoop them out. This then goes in one of my pots close by for fertilizer! I keep telling myself that this is not cruel. I can't imagine the extra destruction if allowed to mature. In fact the University of Florida is requesting help in logging statistics on them. They have become a serious invasive threat.
I am still hearing some in my backyard at night, so I will have to out there to do some bagging. I hate doing that, but it has become necessary.
