My first thought was they are gathering under an outdoor light source. Insects are attracted to the light and the frogs are there for the all night buffet. Maybe leave a light on away from the garage door. Also a motion activated light might solve the problem.
I would love to have frogs to eat insects around yard. Are you near pond or water area?
they're GREAT for pest control in the garden!!!
Thanks all. Will just live with them.
I have to agree with Mimist, the frogs are there for a reason, probably food. Entice them away with a light that will attract insects and other small critters they eat. You could even try solar lights on a stake and move it around to find the best spot.
I agree with Mimist; Frogs love to eat insects;
I would certainly put the light maybe to the side of the
garage door to lure the insects away from the front or
maybe use one of those yellow bug lights that deter bugs.
You could also put some kind of bug repellent on the
ground in front of the garage door. Maybe vinegar???

Jeff, it's a pain having to get out of your car to shoo them away! You could always try spraying Pine Sol at the base of your garage door and out for about a foot. Almost every creature hates Pine Sol, even black bears! Good luck!
Do you have a light near where you see frogs? Frogs go to eat the bugs that are attracted to light.
