I've been told that if you spray the front of your car with PAM (cooking spray), they wash right off. Has anyone tried this? If so, does it work?

Things I need to know before making the move there. Sounds awful. Good to read tips from Villagers.

Default Love Bugs

Put out a white bowl with water and dish detergent or baby oil (They are attracted to light colors)
For the Car use DW40 on the bumpers
Citronella candles - they hate the smell.

We are under attack also! Our trees are in need of help. Don't spay with DW40 as the oil will kill the leaves and the tree will die.

They are great on salad.

Enjoy all the joking around about Love Bugs - just something else to deal with for a couple of weeks in around May and Oct. They really aren't so bad around here.
