Love Bugs!
 
We are driving back home this Saturday; how are the love bugs?

They're positively yucky. Have seen them much worse before but they're still here and being a nuisance.

I drove in Monday and I had about 15 on front bumper. Thought it would be worse. Every time I see one I spray bug remover on the car and the love bugs wipe right off.

The love bugs are just fine. They said to hurry home! <splat> Ooops, they couldn't wait...

Things that can help: spray Pam on the front bumper and grill. Most will slide right off after splatting. Have some dryer sheets in car. Moisten the sheets, wipe car, guts wipe right off. Then, when you have a chance hose the car down since the sheets leave a light film. (Works for windshields, too. Just use washer after wiping.)

Today was the heaviest day I've seen

Thanks everyone! I was hoping those little buggers would be on their way by the time we got there. :)

We walked out of Winn Dixie and two of the little buggers were caught in flagrant delicto in our grocery bag. No shame!

Please keep the windshield up on your golf cart. P

I'm splattering as many as I can as I drive the roadways. I'll leave a few for you.

Drove to New Smyrna Beach and back today. Love Bugs:eek: just started to get bad on way back then it rained cleaned most off.:thumbup:

All is well. They are on strike and will not be back until they get $15/hour.

You might want to plan a trip to the beach when you get back 'cause there are no love bugs in the coastal counties. Unfortunately, you will drive through a blizzard of them to get to the beach.

Many years ago...the first time I ever saw love bugs I was at Daytona Beach Shores staying at our condo and love bugs were much worse than I have ever seen here.
I haven't really noticed many around Buttonwood yet. Maybe they will avoid our area this time around. ;-)
