There are still parts of the island that don't have coqui that could support their preferred lifestyle, for example North Kohala and Honoka'a ... So do not transport!
Cane toads ... Are everywhere they can be. They love ponds. When I lived in the ultra dry Kohala Estates, my neighbor had a teeny tiny water feature -- and the bufo were all over it.
I accidentally found a killing method that is very sure fire and does not involve any blunt force trauma, but I don't like killing things, other than centipedes and roaches and slugs. And sometimes coqui, which is how I discovered that pure Parson's ammonia in a Windex bottle will kill a bufo with one spray. I was hunting coqui and I sprayed this bufo, and the next day I found it Maki in the grass.
It may not be at all pleasant for the toad, so I leave it to anyone's conscience and inner Syd Singer, and do not recommend action.
I found another toad killer that is absolutely ruthless. It is called a 10 year old boy. I had one over visiting and he went out on his own and slaughtered legions of toads ... I had to tell him to stop because it was gruesome.
Point being, what is unpleasant for you might be enjoyable to the budding serial killers, I mean pre-teen boys, that inhabit your neighborhood. Mine worked for free. After I told him to stop the slaughter, he moved to bucket capture. A five gallon paint bucket with a lid works well.
