Back in Minnesota we used Tempo to spray walls. Here we have a ton of love bugs especially on the east wall

I hadn’t heard of Tempo before I read your post and looked it up. I personally don’t know if it would kill your love bugs, but they are harmless, so would think just using a broom will disperse them. Tempo seems like a nuclear option.

the little buggers only last for a couple of weeks
getting them off your car is more important....as they'll ruin the paint
you could spray some Pam on the front of your hood....just lay some newspaper down first to trap the overspray

This is not Minnesota. The best killer for love bugs is a car windshield. Get use to them it's Florida and they only last for a couple of weeks.

I read about this online but never believed this would work but I bought one of those Lowe's 5gallon WHITE buckets, filled it 1/2 way with water and added some citrus scented dish soap and now I have a bucket filled with A HUGE amount of those dead PITAs. When I turn on my wood pellet grill to BBQ they swarm like a plague of locusts. My lanai screen is covered, the side of the house is covered and they just stick all over me. My wife needs to do an inspection before I walk back in the house. The bucket helped a lot but not fully. I can't believe how many "kicked the bucket."
This is about what my grill looks like from the bugs: This just happened. Love bugs everywhere!!!’ - Dana Hayes Erickson (https://www.facebook.com/dana.foote1/videos/10217036034187337/)

They last for about a month, twice a year.
Yes they will wreak havoc on your paint, twice a year.

There is a sponge in auto stores or Walmart hard to find now , you don’t need anything but some water to wet it . I use all year round even on bird stuff if you have enough water to wet sponge you can rub as hard as you want it leaves no scratch

Is it actually called a bug sponge?
