DO NOT TRY TO GET AROUND IT.

Recently a plant was imported TO Hawaii that carried a coqui frog. That frog now has populated the Big Island and we have no way to rid ourselves of it. Property values have dropped because of the noise.

Somehow a beetle the size of a fruit fly finally made it to the islands and has decimated our Kona Coffee crop.

There are important reasons for AG controls in and out of a location and one person can become a "Typhoid Mary" of plant diseases and pest distribution!

Concerning your cacti:
