Garlic based aphid control harmful to frogs?

Recommended Posts

Hiya, Bought a bromeliad and a succulent a few weeks ago for the terrarium and loved the results but unbeknown to us at the time, they contained nasty aphids who are now having a field day on the rest of the plants who where already sulking from the shift.

Sirans Mum said Garlic water will deal with the lil buggers no worries but will it harm the frogs?, we'll prolly remove them for the treatment but how fastidious do you think we need to be when cleaning up the residuals.

Would prefer not to remove the plants as they are really sulking and we fear to rip them out again would be the last straw. We have peace lillies, a maiden head fern and a wing fern.

Thanks guys
