Thanks for any help with this, since I think they will be "bugging" us.
A year or so ago, we had a very bad season of love bugs and I was driving down to Sarasota to see my dad. Literally, I had to go through a car wash on my way down and on my way back to get the bugs off my windshield. I could not see while I was driving. Yes, they came off right away but it was so bad, had to do it twice in one trip. Not pleasant. Seems that when you drive locally, its not as bad, but when your on the freeways is when you really get hit. These were car washes connected with the gas stations, not anything fancy, just necessary.
