Answers:
You can have mesh put on your gutters to keep them out of there, but I don't know if you can get rid of them. You may be living in an area where they are very common. If you tried to get them off your house, they would just come back. - As the previous answer said, frogs and toads help control insects, so they are helpful to us. Sorry I don't have a better answer. Maybe you could get help for your phobia.
you should be thankful that you have them. as a bio-indicator species, they are rapidly vanishing due to man's pollution, global-warming, loss of habitat, you name it. you probably have less insect pests, and actually have a unique habitat going for you.. get some counseling and try and learn to enjoy them!
good luck

look, I am sorry you want them gone, but you are living in their ecological niche, like they have been for millions of years.
mankind changing nature for his own comfort is what is leading us down this road to global warming. Thousands of species will be gone in the next 50 years. Many researchers believe that the next generation won't even have the opportunity to listen to a frog croak, and the World Association of Zoos and Aquariums has started their Amphibian Ark, anticipating a loss of 50% of known amphibians to extinction. It's them 1st, we follow... You are actually very lucky, blessed in my opinion
Unless you want rats, bugs, spiders, etc., get some help dealing with your phobia. Frogs are very useful animals.
If you absolutely can't stand them, then take away their feeders and they'll move elsewhere on their own. Please do not poison them with anything. Cover with mesh the areas where you see them getting in. They look for humid spots.
If they're too stubborn, move to a condo
To get rid of the toads go out and remove all the slugs, they will find another place to eat
Tree toads send them up here, I haven't heard them in about 6 years
