That this plight on our land that threatens the last vestige of peace and tranquility is still even debated and argued blows my mind! Let there be no doubt to any who have yet to experience this menace called the coqui frog, let me assure you the obnoxiousness and intrusiveness is not overstated. Last week I sprayed 200 gallons of citric acid ($114.00 if you're wondering) and did nothing to quiet the 3 frogs in my back yard. Finally, Saturday night I waited and hunted down the exact location and honest to God killed all three (different parts of the yard mind you) with only 10 gallons!! It sounds like a Texas fish story but it is true. The key was removing all of the undesireable and yes invasive plant[8D] life smothering the beautiful trees and nailing the little buggahs when they start making noise. I do hope they pass a law allowing the ag dept. to spray on empty lots and those that are not being taken care of by anyone. The other plus with the alu-hey (phonetic spelling) gone the beauty that has been hidden is just breathtaking. Okay 'nuff said. I will be getting the sprayer again on the 29th and am willing to help my fellow Eden Roc neighbors. Pam Jones
