During the late night and after the rain, I'm constantly disturbed by the 'ouk' sound of a frog making every eight seconds. It's probably sitting in the big drain next to my neighbor's backyard of his terrace house and it bothers me from time to time. How can I deal with this? Do I have to catch it myself? How do I catch it?

I find the noise calming .. you sleep with the window open ?

KHairy jamaludin can settle.. but need a few of it.. like 20

I prefer frog noise more than human or traffic noise. Soothing nature

I find it bothersome when it happens almost every late night. I can still hear it even when I close my window.

focus on the peaceful and frog sound easy fall asleep

Do you have cats in the area? Since I have a cat at home, no longer hear frogs as they are being chased .

need to check the drains as well , maybe there's shrubs or light source that attracts insects and hence attract the frog .

berudu (offspring of frog) will live in drain that have water , to avoid this , need your drain to be either flowing fast or completely empty (no water). need to check if there is anything blocking your drains .

its a collective issue , so best bet is to discuss with your neighbour .

I have cats in my area but they aren’t doing any work.

Frog noise is nothing compare to my cat on heat, meow meow once i turn off light to sleep and last for 1 week straight

If I read u correctly, the big drain is not in yr neighbor's backyard, rather is it in a public area. Throw rock salt into the big drain upstream of where the "ouk" sounds emanate. Frogs are sensitive to salty water, and this may persuade it to relocate elsewhere, further away from you.

If already adult and over one year old bring her to vet and spay, if no the longer you delay the chance getting breast cancer is higher

Sos
My cat kena before, and vet said chance for coming back is possible , if my cat still have all the strength and condition is okay will bring her for 2nd time breast cancer remover if coming back, but the chance is low to survive for 2nd time due to age according to my vet, so either just leave it like that or bagi tidur if coming back

Tldr
If can bring her and spay

same. even dug small pond for insect/frog.

Question 1 ... Is the frog on public area?

Question 2 ... Is your neighbor also trying to get rid of the frogs?

Be honest cause my solution will cause neighbor to react very differently if they are frog friendly.

throw some pop pops at it, around it

Ok bro, I bring her to spay on weekends

Feed stray cats.

if u really want quiet and no other choice can consider those noise isolation window, i have mine around rm2k with installation, after having it i cant tell if outside is raining

1. I hear the sound of a frog coming from my big drain
2. I don't talk to my neighbour often

What is your solution?

I found the frog species which is banded bullfrog and it is pretty common in Malaysia. Here's an example of the noise it makes:

Use a small net the type found in aquarium shops or a long grabber used to pick up rubbish type.

When you catch it, throw the frog far away from your your house otherwise it will come back.
