Description
Welcome charming amphibian neighbors to your yard with the JCS Wildlife Deluxe Poly Lumber Tree Frog House. Handcrafted in the USA from premium recycled plastic lumber, this high-performance shelter provides a secure, predatory-proof resting spot for native tree frogs to sleep comfortably during the day and thrive at night.
Built to withstand severe elements without cracking, splitting, or fading, this eco-friendly frog habitat functions as a natural pest control station that looks sharp in any backyard, garden, or patio space.
Key Features & Benefits
- Moisture-Retaining Water Reservoir: Specially engineered with an interior water reservoir to provide the critical, life-saving dampness that frogs naturally need to keep their skin hydrated and survive.
- Smart All-Weather Overfill Drainage: Designed with precise top roof entries that let rainwater automatically replenish the reservoir, while an integrated overflow system prevents the internal well from flooding.
- Lifetime Recycled Poly Lumber Build: Handcrafted from premium recycled milk jugs and high-density plastics. It is entirely non-porous and guaranteed never to crack, rot, split, warp, or fade.
- Natural Eco-Friendly Pest Control: Encouraging local tree frogs to live in your garden provides a chemical-free defense system that rapidly decimates nighttime mosquitoes, gnats, moths, and agricultural pests.
- Safe Communal Den Architecture: Thoughtfully scaled to match the nesting instincts of nearly 30 species of tree frogs across North America, allowing multiple frogs to peacefully roost inside at the same time.

Habitat & Placement Guide: How to Attract Tree Frogs
Proper environmental placement is the absolute key to achieving high occupancy rates in your new frog shelter.
- The Outdoor Light Trick: Securely mount your frog house near an active outdoor patio light, porch lamp, or landscape spotlight. The artificial glow naturally attracts nocturnal insects at night, creating an easy, late-night buffet right at the frogs' front door.
- Mounting Height: Install the flat back panel 4 to 6 feet above the ground onto the side of a sturdy wooden post, backyard fence line, mature tree trunk, or exterior building wall. This height keeps frogs completely safe from ground pets and predators.
- The Daily Routine: Once established, enjoy watching a fantastic backyard wildlife cycle. The frogs will emerge from the bottom of their poly home right before dark to hunt, and safely return to rest inside the damp chamber at dawn.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Why does a tree frog house need an interior water reservoir?
Amphibians do not drink water through their mouths; instead, they absorb moisture and oxygen directly through their highly sensitive skin. If their bodies dry out, they cannot survive. This house features a built-in reservoir well that holds fresh water, keeping the interior humidity perfectly optimized.
Will multiple frogs share this single-chamber house?
Yes! Tree frogs are naturally social during their daytime sleeping hours. It is very common for several tree frogs to pack into the single-chamber tube together to share moisture and stay cozy before their evening hunt.
How does the water reservoir stay filled and clean?
The overhanging roof features targeted openings that allow natural rainfall to pour down and refill the reservoir automatically. Any excess water escapes through our built-in overflow drainage slits, ensuring the internal well stays clean and fresh without turning stagnant or overfilling.
Is poly lumber safe for amphibians compared to traditional wood?
Yes, it is significantly safer and cleaner. Traditional wood frog houses trap moisture from humidity, which rapidly warps the panels and creates a breeding ground for harmful fungal wood rot and bacteria. Recycled poly lumber is completely non-porous and stain-resistant. It absorbs absolutely nothing, making it completely safe for delicate frog skin and exceptionally easy to spray clean with plain water.

Love this frog house! Great quality! Had multiple tree frogs take to it right away! Love it so much that we just ordered the larger JCS Wildlife Tree Frog Condo!

It took a couple of weeks but the tree frogs seem to really like it!!! We were amazed!
A
I probably should have looked at the dimensions more closely, but this was smaller than I was expecting it to be. I like the house, and the size will work well for me anyway. The only thing I didn't like was how sloppy the clean-up was after creating the side designs. There were little plasticky bits hanging off the outline of the frogs. I had to clean it up to make it look nicer. No actual frogs yet, but I'm hoping when I add a string of outside lights to that area it will help.

I have a tree frog that has taken up residence all season.

It works! The frog house is sturdy and made well. It took a few months for a frog to make its home inside but we have a frog living inside.
A
This thing is great, I put it up and less than 24 hours later there were frogs in it. I would buy more but they’re too expensive.

I put the house out last year, after finding tree frogs in my hose container. I thought this would be a better environment for them. I didn’t see any last year, but today saw this cutie. The house is very well built, sturdy and is attractive to frogs. Very happy with my purchase.

The frogs love it. We love watching them. What more could you want?

I absolutely LOVE this tree frog house! I haven’t even hung it up yet, just set it on my patio while I decide where the perfect place will be. It was occupied within 24-36 hours after putting it outside. It is near a low voltage patio light and when I go outside at night, sometimes the frog is just sitting in the entrance to it’s house waiting for dinner. I want another one for my front yard!

Sturdiness easy installation, value for you money. Beautiful 🐸🐸🐸🐸

This is really good quality. It took about a month but I finally got my frog! It was very easy to install.
J
The frogs on my deck loved to live under the covered furniture and BBQ. I would grab them up each day and transfer them to the frog house. After a while, they stayed in there. Make sure it's high and near the porch lights.I made some minor modifications to mine, some holes drilled, etc. and I need to figure out a way to easily remove the top. All in all it's very sturdy and durable.

We purchased two of these frog houses as residences for our wild backyard tree frogs. My son, who is a dedicated amateur herpetologist, went out in the evenings several weeks ago and saw several pairs of frogs find each other and deposit eggs in a small disused kiddie pool. We took a clutch of eggs inside to watch them develop, and then released the surviving young froglets back into our yard. One little juvenile frog is thriving and lives happily with a couple of adult frogs in one of the two frog houses in our yard. The kids love visiting it, and it charms them by coming out into the opening at the top to look back at them. We love having amphibious neighbors, and we love the way the frog houses blend into the surroundings.
M
I have a companion on my porch to enjoy the evening with. He sure enjoys his new home. Just look at him smile!
L
I hung it and the very next day the frog showed up and it’s been in it ever since. Perfect timing, the days are pretty hot!
B
Day 1 and a frog settled in quickly to his new digs. Well made product and works exactly as advertised! That frog got right in there and backed itself right down into the water filled PVC pipe. To say I was amazed is an understatement!

I see tree frogs on my house from time to time so I know we have them. We had an old Verizon landline box on our house that I removed during painting because it was of no use and was unsightly. I figured the tree frogs had taken it over and we hiding in it and behind it so I ordered this to replace their home. I normally see a few of the lighter colored small tree frogs but today my fiancé noticed this big green guy on the window during a storm. Hope they stick around.For reference I am located in the south eastern Wisconsin area, these are more northern woodland type tree frogs.

My son loves herpetology and we heard this frog house is great. It came already assembled which I loved. We are excited to try it. The house is great quality and very sturdy.
L
So perfect! They absolutely love it! Within a day they were in it, I also keep a hanging bird bath bowl next to it so it’s like a tree frog hot tub. They love chilling on top or in the opening during the day. Now I just need 5 more.

The media could not be loaded.
I put this near our patio umbrella where we get tree frogs. When I opened the umbrella today, a tree frog fell out. So I put the frog house next to the umbrella pole. As you can see, he noticed and moved in within minutes!
M
The same day I put it up, as soon as dusk fell my tree frog went right to it. No hesitation, amazing! He was living in a fountain, then decided he liked my patio umbrella but that wasn’t working well for me so I purchased this and attached to the north side of the deck. Added water and the rest was history!

My father loves his tree frog house that we gave him. The next day he had two of them living in it. This was the best father's day gift that is giving him daily entertainment!🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸
