Other things to note
Hawaiʻi is full of beautiful nature—including alates (flying termites) and coqui frogs. These are harmless and part of our tropical ecosystem. Alates may appear after rain and are attracted to lights. Coqui frogs sing at night. We do our best to maintain a clean space, but we ask for understanding: these are not pests, they are part of Big Island life.
Thank you for respecting our land and nature
