“FROGS EAT MOSQUITOES—SPRAYS KILL FROGS!” 🐸🦟🚫

Forget foggers—frogs are natural pest control:
✅ 10,000+ mosquitoes eaten per frog
✅ Tadpoles clean water
✅ Frogs = a healthy garden

Sprays poison them. Skip the toxins—try this instead:
🔹 Dump standing water
🔹 Plant mosquito-repelling herbs
🔹 Build a frog-friendly pond
🔹 Invite birds & bats

FROGS > FOGGERS.
Let nature handle the bugs. Save the frogs, save your ecosystem. 🌿

Activists want to replace a variety of cherry tree associated with the Japanese colonial era with one they say is Korean. The science is messy.
