Love Bugs Return

Seems the Love Bugs have return to West Central Florida. My Mazda was attack by them today and i just wash them right off (7 coats of OS), just a heads up for Autogeeks in Florida.

I did see one love bug today in Cape Coral (southwest Florida). I'm sure more are on the way.

Poorboys Bug Squash was designed for them critters, just add some to your soap for extra cleaning power.

They don't seem to be bad around South FL especially in coastal areas, think I saw a couple outside the other day.


Now Central or North FL, different ballgame, love bugs in the volume only hell could spawn, lol.

Last year I wasn't worried about bugs, some trees or whatever it was started letting their seeds off, there were millions and millions of these white fuzzy things floating in the air wherever you went, and they stuck to your cars. But the worst was if you had a fabric/cloth top like on a convertible, was a major beotch to get off, pretty much couldn't, just had to wait for a couple weeks for them to disintegrate as washing didn't really help.

Oh great, I leave for Orlando on Friday. Oh well I guess I will have to suffer the indignities of a machine wash since I don't think Disney would appreciate me washing my ride in the parking lot. What product could I carry with me for quick cleanups on the road?
