Toads can be charming garden visitors, but when they turn your outdoor sofa into their home, it can become a nuisance. Here are some effective ways to prevent toads from settling on your furniture:

1. Regular Cleaning – Toads are attracted to damp, shaded areas. Clean your sofa weekly to remove debris and moisture that may attract them.

2. Use Natural Repellents – Sprinkle coffee grounds, vinegar, or citrus peels around your sofa. Toads dislike these scents and will avoid the area.

3. Elevate Your Sofa – Place your sofa on a raised platform or use furniture legs to make it harder for toads to climb up.

4. Install Outdoor Lighting – Toads prefer dark, cool spots. Adding motion-activated lights can deter them from lingering.

5. Cover Your Sofa – Use a waterproof cover when not in use to keep the surface dry and less appealing to toads.

By following these simple steps, you can enjoy a toad-free outdoor seating area while keeping your furniture in great condition.
