What people don't tell you is that toads use their home to attract a mate. Put out a toad house, and a toad will move into the slug trape and a mate will just move in.

A toad house is an excellent addition to a garden as part of a natural pest control strategy. Toads eat large quantities of pests like slugs, snails, and insects, making them valuable, low-maintenance "companion" gardeners that reduce the need for chemicals.
Benefits of a Companion Gardening Toad House
Natural Pest Control: A single adult toad can consume thousands of insect pests (beetles, slugs, grubs, etc.) over an average summer season.
Reduced Chemical Use: By fostering a natural predator, you can minimize or eliminate the need for harmful pesticides and slug pellets, which are toxic to amphibians due to their permeable skin.
Biodiversity Boost: Providing a home helps support local wildlife and promotes a balanced garden ecosystem.
Low Maintenance: Once a toad takes up residence, it requires minimal care, working nights to keep your plants safe.
