I guess you've never visited the Space Coast in May or September?

Damn. Why won't they settle for $10 per hour?

Planting Pinellas: No love for lovebugs?

That just mad me laugh
Let's blame Mr Morse for not disclosing that love bugs exist in May and October
Heck, he's so rich he should spend his fortune inventing a spray that would eliminate them
LOL

I wouldn't use Pam to protect against love bugs. Search engine revealed the following about getting the love bugs off of your car.

In those tips on the link, it is mentioned to use a pressure washer to remove the bugs. I think they meant the high pressure of a common garden hose nozzle, not a real pressure washer. My DIL took her car to a car wash once, and they were using a real pressure washer to blast the bugs off the front of the car. It also blasted the clear coat off part of the bumper before the attendant realized it and stopped. The car wash refused any kind of compensation.

Do not use a real pressure washer on your car!

Good Morning Everyone!

It's good to be home! We drove from 4:00 am to 8:00 pm yesterday. When I walked outside this morning, there were no love bugs!

Good job Doug! Thanks!

Having lived in Florida all my life, I learned rain is the best way to get the bugs off of your car. Just have to find a shower.
