Is a
backyard pond infected?
8Watch
for frogs/toads in the water during the daytime
8Also
look for any dead frogs and toads on the property
during the cooler months - once a sick frog/toad
has been in the pond, it has almost certainly infected it
êPonds in chytrid
areas can be drained and kept dry during the winter
months - only fill again when day temps are
consistently above 27 deg.
êUse small bird baths
and other containers instead during the winter months -
these can be dumped, cleaned and refilled easily
