Get prepared folks
 
Just purchased a two pack of WD-40, love bug season is almost here....:sigh::sigh:

Could we trade a percentage of our love bug allotment for RAIN ?

Not a good deal? Love bugs must not taste good. For the birds they are plentiful, slow and bite one and get one free. With all that, can't convince the birds the are a good deal.

Sorry for my ignorance, what is the WD-40 for with relation to the love bugs? A repellant or you bath in it so they slide off???

Pam Cooking spray also works well, they easily wipe off.

I was just thinking about them today (not in TV yet) is this (or Pam) a preventative for them sticking to the windshields or an easier way to clean them off?

And speaking of windshields (golf carts in particular) is it better to have a solid windshield vs. a rollup?

You wouldn’t want to use something containing petroleum like WD40 on a windshield. It would ruin wiper blades on a car and not be good for an acrylic or polycarbonate golf cart windshield. To each their own, but I would never have a one piece golf cart windshield, the windshield on my cart is flipped down almost 100% of the time it’s not pouring rain out. Also, I hate tinted golf cart windshields, very difficult to see at night when raining and the tinting is worthless for me because if it’s sunny out it’s flipped down.

Has anyone had success with any type of pretreatment to make it easier to clean off the lovebugs? My internet searches have come up negative.

For golf carts you really don't need anything. I've lived here for 16 years and never had a love bug stick to my cart. I do love my golf cart screen during love bug seasons (May & September). Also, love bugs seem to really like anything that is white. Wear darker clothes!

35 years of love bugging here. The best solution I've found is to hose off the main bodies then with a bucket and wet dryer sheets, scrub the rest off and hose again.

New comers. Don’t leave Love if’s on cars long as they will ruin your paint.

Hopefully with the lack of rain we may see a lite love bug season this May. 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

Dryer sheets work the best in getting them off. You just need to wipe the white film off when done

RainX for the windshield. Two coats of polish for the front end of the car. Wipe off at the end of the trip with a damp cloth.

I have found dryer sheets to be an effective way to remove them from my car.
