We had a problem with our air conditioning this summer in Texas, after pulling into a Dodge dealership we found the radiator was cover with bugs. They just took a hose and cleaned them off. Their suggestion was after a trip or every few thousand miles to be safe just hose your radiator off.

I've never heard of the love bug explosion…What is their season? I will be coming down the first of October…is that on season for them or off season?
If it's on season, I will pay more attention to the advice…always something….
thanks everyone!

Love bugs are normally here the month of September and the month of May. Sometimes they arrive a little earlier or stay a little later.

I would wash the car when I get home if there are bugs on it. Did not think of the radiator. I will start looking at it but have not heard of any problems.

At least the car is now clean. And bug free. But I suppose the bra would be a good thing if you were driving the highways during the two love bug seasons. I wanna see if he really does put it back on this fall, though. It was a b**** to get on.
Most men are better at taking bras off than putting them on! LOL
