Frog in the Car

Does anyone know how I can get a tree frog out of my mother's car? Any kind of scent or something to attract it to a spot so I can get to it or something to kill it or to make it want to get out of the car? It is getting dark and time is running out as she will not get in the car and I have work tomorrow morning. 

Instructions for frustration management:  

1) Sit at desk.   2) Repeatedly slam forehead against desk.

 

I never said I was smart, just smart enough to be dangerous.

 

 

ORLY?

I'm assuming you don't know where it is in the car otherwise you'd have removed it already...

There isn't many ways to get rid of frogs, you could try using snake repellent to make it go away, since that also works on frogs.

 

Other than that, there's plenty of ways to kill it, like acid citric, caffeine.. But that would involve you actually seeing the frog and spraying it, but if you can see it, you may as well just pick it up with a glove/net and take it away from the car.

ignore it, drive the car yourself, lie to your mom and say you got it out, hope it leaves by itself, leave it there to scare the shit out of your mom, or try what the others said to get it out

Just kill the frog, season it, and grill it. 

Frog legs are good, but I am afraid this guy did not have much meat on him.

Not really an option not only would she be charged for my murder but she would have a motor vehicle accident.

 

Thanks for the info @TetraSky, I waited till it got dark and I found him on the driver window. I took a cup and covered him then got an envelope and covered the cup and released him. No need on killing something unless I have to (shout out to you @Dredgy).

 

This was a tiny little tree frog. Thanks for the replies. For anyone wondering, if it is a tree frog it is best to wait till it becomes dark. They are more likely to attach themselves to the windows to try to get bugs (though the logic is kinda off).

I'm glad to see that no frogs were harmed in the end
