What's
the problem with coqui frogs?
They are NOISY!
Males produce a continuous two-tone "ko-KEE" mating call at
night that can be as loud as a chainsaw.
Native to Puerto Rico, coqui frogs have no natural enemies in Hawaii and
are multiplying out of control.
We
need your help!
HOW CAN I HELP?
Don't bring plants to Volcano
Coqui and their eggs are marvelous hitchhikers.
If you must bring plants, quarantine them for at least a week.
Place a transparent plastic bag over the top and tie at the soil line
so you can see coqui.
Do an egg cluster inspection.
Avoid parking in frog-infested
areas
especially overnight.
Monitor closely after
deliveries
from the lowlands.
Report all calling
frogs
to the Volcano Coqui Hotline: 443-4023
(your report will be forwarded to the contact person in your subdivision)
OR
to the Coqui Table Sundays at Volcano Farmers'
Market during the warmer months
Join the cadre
of dedicated volunteers
Call Kim Tavares at 443-4035 to get started with a trained volunteer!
Patrol your neighborhood
for calling frogs
Walk the streets after dark, or "drive 'n stop" with windows
down to listen.
