I am not surprised to hear this.
When I was a child, frogs were plentiful. There were so many of them down by a little stream near our house. That stream wasn't much more than a field-drain, but there were so many frogs.
There might still be some in my area. I don't know. But a dew-pond up on the hill behind my house now has no signs of frogs or spawn there. I think the last time I saw frog spawn was about 2009 or 2010. I have seen no signs of them anywhere else, and the little brook which runs through for miles has none, nor any fish. There are fish in the river further on, but I have never seen frogs there.
Yes when we disturb the balance of Nature by over use of chemicals (and basically dont care!) we are slowly taking away life on our Earth. Sometimes it's not even that slow. Species just disappear, and humans are too interested in marching on thoughtlessly and unkindly!
