Hitchhikers

Dear Friends,

Our faithful President and V.P. went out to assess the situation at the Honaunau PO this Monday. For now it seems mostly quiet, except for a lone coqui frog, a 'hitchhiker' resting on a truck around the corner on HWY 160.  Please note our treatment plan for the PO on WED this week is canceled, and may be rescheduled later.

Remember, when you travel to coqui infested areas, coqui frogs may 'hitchhike' a free ride on your car or truck.  The frogs then may jump off in your driveway or wherever you park and establish habitats in new areas.

You can help prevent the spread of coqui frogs. Sprinkling a light dusting of baking soda underneath your car where you park. Since the frogs dissolve on contact with salty content in baking soda, this can prevent these 'hitchhikers' from establishing new noisy habitats near your home.

Mahalo for doing your part to Keep Kona Quiet.
