Victorian era gardeners used toad houses to encourage a symbiotic relationship between amphibian and garden by offering dark, damp, cool places for the little creatures to hide from the sun during the day. What they would get in return was a natural remedy for snails, slugs, cut worms and a variety of other destructive garden pests since a single toad can eat over 15,000 of these in a season.
