I can't see that much hope for 'eradicating' the coqui frog if the best proposed solution is something that must be topically applied to every coqui frog, no matter how well it works. Too many coquis, too many lots with heavy cover full of hiding places, and too many absentee and/or non-involved land owners. Pushing a rope would probably be easier.
I'm no fan of the coqui. I'm probably lucky that to me personally, their noise isn't like fingernails on a chalkboard. I think real concern (read as funding to find a viable solution - whatever THAT means)is only going to come when the coqui has established itself in the areas of Hawaii where the rich and powerful reside. Is that going to happen? Sooner or later I can just imagine that the little critter will be making their music on Waikiki Beach.
