Frogs found scaling sides of toilet bowls in Derbyshire town

Frogs have been photographed in the toilets of people's Derbyshire homes after emerging through sinks and drains.

Chesterfield residents have said that they have found the frogs scaling the sides of toilet bowls.

Sightings were reported from three separate addresses in the town this morning (May 1).

Homeowners say that frogs have "infiltrated their water systems" andare now "climbing up through their drains".

Yorkshire Water, the company which looks after the town's water supply, said the frogs could be breeding in underground watercourses around Chesterfield, when contacted by Derbyshire Live.

One resident has been using duct tape to block holes in sinks and isnow nervous about going to the toilet for fear of what she might find.

Tezza Bella, from Chesterfield, captured footage of one of the creatures after it emerged from her toilet.

She said: "I've always been scared of toilets in case something comesup and bites me, now this has just proved it's not impossible. Gonna have to stand and squat now."

Other people have reported similar experiences via a local Facebook page.

A retired woman from Old Whittington, said: "I saw two of them, one on the wall of the toilet, the other on the seat. I put them in a plastic container and took them into the garden."

A spokesperson for Yorkshire Water, said: “We’ve not had any reportsof frogs hopping out of toilets but it could be possible if a frog haslaid frogspawn in a sewer or a river near to one of our outfalls."
