Fishing the spawn out is the best options, because frogs return to the pond they were spawned in. Eventually the old frogs get old and die and because there are no new frogs spawned in the pond you wont have new frogs coming back year after year.. Unless of course there is another large body of water that is regularly used by frogs that disappears, in that case they will seek out any water to spawn in.

IME i think this is a misconception. Whilst growing my family did not have a pond, nor did ANY of the neighbours. As soon as me and my brother were old enough to be responsible around the pond my dad built a 10ft x 4ft x 3ft deep pond with a 6 inch high wall around the outside...

Onto next spring and lo and behold we collected nearly 35lb's of frog spawn over the spawning season and to this date my dad still has a frog problem (i've moved out)
