Very True.

I fired up the Stihl leaf Blower and was swarmed. Also another lesson learned. Do not have stone landscape or driveways sealed with concrete sealer the petroleum base.

Ours was done we looked out and you could not see thru the bugs. They love the fumes and also love to breath em and dye in the applied product.

It all has to be scraped off and re-applied when the critters are gone.

I tried rubbing a dryer sheet lightly across the cars hood dry. The scratching sound and feel was terrible. I wonder even if wet if you are doing more damage than good?
