coqui frog solution

[Cindy Blankenship]

Thanks Carey. We're here - and guess what? My son says the coqui don't bother him that much, but all the barking dogs around here and street noise do. We arrived Tuesday night, and he hasn't slept all the way through yet and is getting grumpier by the day. I'm picking up a used car I just purchased on Saturday Carey and if the insulation you offered doesn't work, then I'll brave the drive to Kona. I read something similar about the walls somewhere, about leaving a space between the wall and what you hang. I think your idea about layering for the windows is a good idea since some materials will absorb sound and others
will bounce it off. Now if he could just go
to sleep at sunset and wake up before dogs, neighbors downstairs and backhoes...we'd have it made. But he's been homeschooled so long he's forgot how to do this.
Amazingly, if my windows are shut the coqui don't bother me. I leave them open a while after dark to get it good and cool in here. Then shut the windows and leave on ceiling fans. My landlady wants me to shut them anyway to run her dehumidfier.
Thanks for all your tips!
