Does anyone know how bad the infestation of coqui are in Nanawale Estates? Is it really loud? Mahalo.
get used to them, it's not something anyone or any state, county or federal agency gonna be able to do anything about. I know, because I've sprayed and sprayed when the grant monies first came out. Got suckered into donating lobor thinking "they" knew what they were talkin about.
Not! the little buggas are in the lava tubes where you can't spray. The citric acis burns some plants up and the lime just sugar coats the situation, baking soda too. If you can squirt one with baking soda and it dies, woopee what you gonna trip around in the jungle at dusk hunting little creekers?
I've had them crawling throigh wet cement and live. The one sure kill are the ones you catch and pop in your fingers.
So think of them as loud crickets and be happy they don't do what centipedes do without warning. And glad they don't feed on blood like mosquitoes.
And you can thank walmart for bringing them in.
