Cocquis

Tom, if you have any big piles of vegetation (e.g. palm fronds) anywhere near your property then removing that is probably the best thing you can do to cut down on the coqui numbers.

Yes, I try and clear up all the fronds as soon as I can but do have a lot of trees and vegetation close to the house, so suspect it doesn't make a huge difference. The real problem is that I'm surrounded by unoccupied and uncleared lots so even if I do kill a bunch of them they seem to invade again just a few days later. (The neighboring lot to the north, for instance, is literally 20 feet from my deck).

I'm interested in the technique you use for spreading baking soda. My leaf blower creates a mini-hurricane so am not sure how I could use it to distribute baking soda in any controlled fashion at all, so would love to hear how you do it!
