A 23-year-old Australian woman was shocked to find a frog in her bathroom after moving to rural Queensland, and says she wishes someone had warned her sooner because she hates the creatures.

Brigitte Belle visited the bathroom early one morning shortly after moving in and was horrified when she saw a large frog half hidden on the rim of the toilet bowl.

“I just want to go to the fucking bathroom without something touching me,” he said.

Frogs need moisture to keep their bodies from drying out, and can often be found near water sources, including sewers and bathrooms.

Brigitte Belle visited the bathroom early one morning shortly after moving in and was horrified when she saw a large frog half hidden on the rim of the toilet bowl (right). Frogs need moisture to keep their bodies from drying out, and can often be found near water sources, including sewers and bathrooms.

“I just woke up but there’s one thing they don’t warn you about when you move to Queensland and that’s the damn frogs in the dunny,” she said on TikTok.

The young woman said she is “living in fear of frogs jumping and slapping [her]’ every time he goes to the bathroom.

‘Look at this,’ he said over the frog as he groaned.

The trolls accused Brigitte of overreacting to the situation.

Completely harmless. Of all the things to worry about,’ said one annoyed woman.

However, the young Australian defended her reaction, explaining that she has a lot of experience with other animals but can’t get over her fear of frogs.

Why do frogs get into toilets and how can you prevent it?

How and why do frogs get into bathrooms?

* Frogs need moisture to keep their bodies from drying out and can often be found near water sources, including sewers and bathrooms.

* Amphibians can swim down the drain pipe and suddenly appear in the toilet bowl. It may have entered the sewer through cracks or breaks in the pipes.

* Frogs can also enter the drain pipe by falling into the vent pipe of your sewer system.

What do you do if you find frogs in the bathroom?

* Finding frogs in the toilet can be a big surprise, but for most people it is not a cause for fear.

* If you are comfortable handling frogs, simply remove the frog from the toilet and release it outside.

* Frogs may try to hide under the rim of the toilet. If your visitor does this trick, place a fishing net or container under the frog and flush it to release the toilet bowl. Catch him before he throws himself into the bowl.

* Otherwise, call your local pest control service to humanely remove the frog.

How do you prevent frogs from entering the toilet?

* Cover the open end of the vent pipe with metal cloth. You can buy this at the hardware store. It will prevent frogs from entering the pipe and falling into the drains.

* Cut trees and bushes so that the branches do not hang from the ceiling. If tree frogs can’t get to the roof, they can’t get into the vent either.

* Turn off exterior lights at night, especially if the lights are mounted to illuminate the roof. The lights attract flying insects, which in turn send a beacon to the frogs that there is enough food.

* Call your plumber to have your drains inspected. You can locate and replace or repair broken and cracked pipes that allow frogs to get into drains.

‘I’m Australian, I should just pick it up and throw it out the door, right? No,’ she said.

‘I work with animals every day. Rabid cattle ran over me and jumped fences, horses pushed me, lizards chased me, currently I have a snake in my air conditioner, now we are housemates. ‘

He said he doesn’t care about spiders and other scary animals, but he can’t stand the thought of frogs.

‘Can’t I handle toads, can’t I handle moths and frogs in the dunny? They could jump up and kiss my ass! No, it’s not happening,” she said.

Many of her followers were as surprised as she was to see the frog.

“TikTok has convinced me that I’m not cut out to visit Australia,” said one woman.

‘New fear unlocked,’ wrote another.

Frog sightings in toilets are not that rare in Australia.

Previously, a young woman found a collection of bright green frogs in a bathroom while traveling in the Northern Territory.

Australian traveler Kimberly Bulmer ended up saving frogs after the experience and now keeps them as pets.
