I have found a few inside my place as well. They are great climbers and great jumpers and have a knack of hiding in tight out of the way places. I keep my shoes on the front Lanai and have more than once been half way to the mailbox at the end of my lane only to discover one of them squirming around inside my shoe.
Besides coquis there is another type of invasive frog called a greenhouse frog which is equally noisey at night. They have smaller heads and I think they are a little less noisy when compared to the coqui.
Lee G. - I find that you can't step on them on grass or like you say they will hop away (laughing at you). You need to catch the little varmints with your hand (not that hard to do) then carry them to a sidewalk, roadway or cinder area before doing your stomping. The sad thing is that there are a couple dozen more ready to take the place of the deceased.
Has anyone who has chickens noticed if they will eat the frogs?

I found one in the kids' bathtub the other day. and another in their room on a different day. That hadn't happened to us before. I have no idea how they get in. and past the cat.
