Toad on the whole

Would this toad eat all the slugs we have in the garden now?

The cane toad problem in Australia serves as a warning for anyone who advocates establishing a population of non-native predators to control native agricultural pests. The cane toad was originally imported from Hawaii in the 1930s to predate on the sugar cane beetles which were such a threat to the crop. Unfortunately, the cane beetle lives at the top of the plant and cane toads are poor jumpers. And, as they never seem to be about when the beetle larvae emerge from the ground, catching the pests young is never an option. The cane toad can, however, breed efficiently. That, together with their natural toxicity to deter predators, assures them a certain longevity.

Thanks for that, Mike - didn't know that. I wonder, are they as unpopular in Hawaii as they are in Australia or whether people just look upon them as a fact of life there...

Cane Toads in Hawaii.
As far as I know, cane toads are not a problem in Hawaii because their populations are controlled naturally by the islands' native parasites and toad ailments which, of course, do not exist in Australia.
A comparison can be made with japanese knotweed which is such a pest in the UK but whose spread is controlled in Asia by the bugs and parasites native to that part of the world.
