Control methods

Label instructions for use of calcium hydroxide (hydrated lime) to control coqui and greenhouse frogs in Hawaii View info about Adobe Acrobat PDF format
The Hawaii Department of Agriculture provides online label instructions for use of calcium hydroxide (hydrated lime) to control coqui and greenhouse frogs (Eleutherodactylus coqui and Eleutherodactylus planirostris) in outdoor ornamental plants in nurseries and residential areas, parks, hotels, resorts, forest habitats, and natural areas in Hawaii. Ash Grove Kemilime may be used in the State of Hawaii (Oahu, Kauai, Maui, Lanai, Molokai and the Island of Hawaii) to control the coqui and greenhouse frogs in outdoor ornamental plants in nurseries and residential areas, parks, hotels and resorts, forest habitats, and natural areas from April 26, 2005 through April 26, 2008 under a Quarantine Exemption granted by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency under the provisions of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act, as Amended.
