ABSOLUTELY TRUE! Whenever I smoke during lovebug season it's like a plague! I put out a 5gal white bucket half-filled with water and some citrus soap and it attracts a LOT of them but still like a half-plague! I have to take a leaf blower and blow the layer of bodies off the patio! This season wasn't as bad as the previous 2 which was hell.
