Everybody has an opinion.
I have meet newcomers who really like the little buggers. No complaint at all.
Personally I do not enjoy futile tasks and coqui eradication has the look and feel of a futile task. We could wish that the county or state took an interest in this earlier but hey! it was Puna after all..... There is also the look and feel of infinate grant fulfillment opportunites....
I find that I can live with them but I have an extremely well insulated home and the outside noise makes minimal intrusion. I really only notice them when someone, usually a visitor, remarks on them.
One thought I had for my own home was to install, with the county buying the components of course, a light pressurized misting system around my property and to mist with citric acid when I thought it might do some good.
Coqui Control seems more approachable than Coqui Eradication. If I could have a simple system that involves turning on a valve for an hour every three weeks I might go for that. I do not want to get dressed up for chemical warfare on a regular basis. So perhaps a personal citric misting system would be practical for Coqui Abatement.
So llittle time, so many things to do.
My two cents.
