Default Why does it have to happen?

OK, funny - not funny story.

I opened the driver's door and noticed a frog hanging on the upper door hinge. I reached in to shoo it away and in my surprise the frog jumps into the cabin and quickly scrabbles up the carpet back behind the pedals. I got on my hands and knees to search for it as I reached in, I realized any attempt to reach in will only make it seek deeper refuge.

So, anyone have a fool proof way of enticing a frog out of a car?

Think it's time to get rid of the car. Seriously, my cats would love this challenge.

Frogs hate Metallica.
Oh, and it has to be from BEFORE the Black Album. Everything after that, Frogs are ok with. Frogs also hate At The Gates and Cryptopsy if you have that, both band's whole catalogs are things frogs hate.
As long as you have BOSE, you should be good.

How the heck did a frog get into your door hinge? It must have been a tiny froglet. Poor little thing thought it was his relative.

Jokes aside, you can try these tipsAnother way to attract a frog is to put a wet towel on a sunny window. Frogs like warm, moist places. They can be lured into hiding by these warm spots. You can also put a jar of essential oils near the frog’s hiding spot, such as lavender and tea tree oil. If you can’t find the frog in a jar, try to place it in a moist area.

If you can’t find a frog in your home, try using a flashlight. Frogs are usually active at night, so if you can see a frog in your mud, you have a good chance of finding it. Alternatively, you can also put a bucket of water in the mud, a damp bucket, or a wet dish.

One trick to attracting a frog out of hiding is to make it comfortable around your home. Frogs like damp, cool water, and insects. If you don’t have a pond, a terracotta bowl will be ideal. If you don’t want to spend the money, you can simply add a clay plant pot to provide a nice place for frogs to live
