Coqui Frogs Take Over Maui Backyards | Honolulu News
Description
Tiny coqui frogs are turning Maui’s nights into a chorus of chaos, especially in Haiku, where their stealthy invasion and relentless croaks are driving locals crazy. These dime-sized invaders, hiding in thick foliage, have plagued Hawaii’s ecosystems for decades—and now, residents are stepping up with help from MISC, Maui County, and federal agencies, who’ve poured nearly $3 million since 2019 into control efforts. From citrus sprays to DIY removal kits, tools are being handed out to homeowners like Eve Hogan, who found one in her shower and worries about spreading invasive species through her plants. But the real solution? It’s a community effort—everyone’s got to pitch in. If you’re battling these frogs, MISC has a form to help you get the tools you need.
