Love Bug sighting?
 
Oh no...think I just saw my first one for this year today near Steak-N-Shake on 466 by Walmart. It was floating gently around the golfcart tunnel. Have you seen any yet?

I saw one pair yesterday.

Oh, ick!!! I hate, loathe and despise lovebugs. I don't care how innocuous they are -- they're icky. You have most definitely not made my day.

Yep saw my first one today - Lord help up us here they come.

Parker 04-24-2013 02:13 PM

Well that's even worse! Say it ain't so. :cryin2:

Saw a few on the golf course today. That's how you can tell a happy golf cart driver....bugs in their teeth!

I started seeing them in my yard last week. We are in Sanibel.

Time to break out the large can of WD-40.

It's great for getting "love juice" off of vehicles.

Love bug traps
 
Where I use to live, we had these Beatle bugs that invaded our plants and flowers. We could go to the store and buy these bags (for lack of terminology) that attracted these beetle bugs and killed them. The bags contained something that attracted the beetles, they flew into the bag and they died. We called it "bag a bug". It seems that someone should invent a mousetrap for these love bugs????

This will be our first experience with love bugs. We left last May and came back end of
September, so we missed them all. Someone said something about dryer sheets and someone here just mentioned WD40. what does one do with these two items? And any other suggestions?

I have always used fabric softener sheets (wet them) and bugs will wipe off of your cars without scrubbing. It will leave a greasy film that you will need to wash off.

ohhhhh, say it isn't soooo! they're back sooo soon??!!
