http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decline_in_...opulations might lead to developing some ideas. I was thinking that a sound wave that creates a fear response in the frog that silences the calls. Or perhaps one that effectively prevents the females from pinpointing the males. Such a sound wave would probably not be inaudible to humans, but if it prevents mating it would only have to be employed for the lifecycle of the frog, then it could be discontinued until they encroach again. Certain insecticides would be useful as they kill the frogs and their food supply, but I don't think the environmental consequence would be worth it.
Personally, having grown up to the lulling sounds of crickets, I don't mind the noise of the coquis. I wouldn't want one in the same room as me but so long as I could have a frog-free perimeter around the house that would be sufficient. Does anybody know what altitude is high enough that its coqui free?
