Keep the front of your vehicle clean.

Yea, just noticed that when grilling (smoker) yesterday for 6 hrs. The smoke attract them like flies to shot although the "spring" attack was much less than last year so maybe the fall will be minimal and quick as well. Was hoping to go braless but likely will have to put it on for a few weeks. On the car!

put some old newspapers on the ground under the front bumper and spray the front grille and front edge of the hood with PAM...that'll make it easier to get those little 'buggers' off

I’m sure they are around, but as of today
I haven’t seen any yet!
But your post brings to mind a positive aspect to the Covid virus....
because of it, I drive way less and therefore the Love Bugs are much less of a problem!

Yes, the second wave is coming!

Edfnj, you’re funny.
I saw some the other day, and thought “is it September already!”

Just use a wet dryer sheet. Come off easily.

Great idea, never heard of using PAM. Silicon spray will do the trick also.

I found a hood air deflector sends most of 'em flying over the roof rather than into the windshield. They have a short but enjoyable life.

A year ago the side of my house looked like something out of the horror movies. I had to use a electric fan to blow them away then a leaf blower to clean up the bodies off the patio.

I find them to be delicious, if you want my receipts for
Love- Bug casserole or my famous LB soup, don’t hesitate to ask.

Theyre out in full force May and June. Mating season. Not usually an issue after that.

When I did this, it worked but then took a day long job to rid the cars grill of the pam.

LOL, I can assure you, from 4 years of experience, they have 2 seasons. Spring and fall.

How long does lovebug season last?
Unfortunately, love bugs are here to stay. May marks mating season for the nuisance bugs, and it lasts four weeks. Then, they do it again in September. They're active between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. and they love temperatures above 84 degrees.

LOVEBUG MATING SEASON
According to the University of Florida, Mating peaks last about four weeks in May and September. Typically, two main generations occur during this time, but the insects can be seen throughout the summer.
