A few coqui frogs chirping off in the distance is okay and even quite jungle like, but they don't stay that way. In Puerto Rico they are a beloved icon but around here we let our gardens grow up much closer to our houses so they chirp/screetch close to people trying to sleep. We don't have any predators for the frog so we get much bigger, louder and many, many more of them than the usual concentrations in Puerto Rico. Eventually, I am hoping the chickens, mongoose, turkeys, feral cats and any other lifeforms we have out there will develop a taste for them and actually target them as a food source instead of the occasional cocqui snack which seems to be the current style. They will also probably get to concentrations where some sort of disease may start taking down the population numbers like what happened to the amphibians in Australia. I don't see that we can eradicate them by just using sprayers and humans at this point. They do affect property values.
