Pestrol Croaked Cane Toad Control
Verified1 review
I purchased a bottle of "Croaked" on 2nd February 2026. I used this product a week or so later for the first time, and unfortunately it didn’t work. I sprayed it onto the cane toad and the cane toad just hopped away a small distance. After around 90 seconds I sprayed the toad a second and third time without any result. After around eight to ten minutes, the cane toad was still very mobile and hopped into a drain and disappeared. The online descriptor states that it will “sedate toads in under a minute and euthanize them in less than 8 minutes with just one spray—works on any size toad. The product that I received did not do this at all. I contacted Pestrol, explained the above and requested a refund which didn't eventuate. I sent my invoice as proof of purchase and received an email that indicated that they were checking with their supplier. I haven't heard from them since which is around 1 month. This product "Croaked" is nearly double the price of Pestrol's alternate product "HopStop" which I have since purchased but can't use due to my lung condition. The HopStop works well but the fumes of this product are extremely strong. It is now April and I have now received correspondence from Pestrol. They have investigated the product with their manufacturer/supplier and have issued me with a replacement bottle of croaked. Unfortunately the Cane Toads have hibernated for the winter so I won't be able to test the new bottle until they return, so stay tuned.
Purchased for $50.
