Unsticking pesky frogs

Q. There are little frogs all over my sliding glass door. All of this rain has caused them to perch there for days. How can I repel them?

 A. Petroleum jelly or tangle foot smeared all over the glass will make the area less inviting to the frogs.

 Q. There is a woodpecker that is pecking on the side of my house. Why is it doing this? How can I stop it?

 A. The woodpecker is drumming. This is done by males to impress females. They are territorial. If you hang a mirror in the area where he is drumming, it will become frustrated and leave.
