Local Man Invents Frog Hotel
WCJB (Gainesville, Florida) 8/30/04

Stanley DeCell, an Ocala resident, had a problem with tree frogs getting into his hoses and cleaning tubes by his swimming pool. He went on a mission to find these little green creatures a home. After creating a tiny roof, a sliding door, some holes and a few pieces of piping, a prototype emerged. Stanley found the frogs preferred his "hotels" to the pool equipment after some testing. He also found that people liked them as well. The first time anyone saw this creation was at the Master Gardeners Show back in March. The orders started pouring in. Once a hobby, these frog hotels have become an enterprise with logos, a website, manufacturers and a patent in the works. A whole kit can be delivered in four to six weeks and costs 20 dollars.
