I have benzocained many North American bullfrogs over here. Its not worth doing unless you are systematically trying to wipe out an introduced population. Killing the odd individual will have no impact on the population. We took out 12,000 bullfrogs at a site in the UK where they were established and making a nuisance of themselves.
12,000! What did you do with the bodies, bury them? How did you do that, many people and one-on-one? I don't think invasive species will ever be wiped out; they have no natural enemies where they are introduced. Here in FL, there are campaigns to eradicate the Australian Pine and the Brazilian Pepperbush. Both of them make thousands of seeds to a plant, if not millions, so are almost impossible to control. Both were brought in as a windbreak and an ornamental bush. Once established, they spread like wildfire.
