East Coast Bug Report

**Porsche Pilot** · 09-29-2010, 07:25 AM

I am headed from Florida to New Hampshire on Friday and was looking for a bug report for the eastern seaboard, I-95 corridor. I am driving our new Panamera on it's first long trip. The love bugs in Florida wont be bad since I am leaving from North Florida. So, all you Geekers along my route point out the trouble spots for bugs! I will bring along some waterless wash and microfibers but if the bugs are bad in GA, SC, NC, VA, NJ, NY, etc I will toss a water barrel in the trunk for full washings along the way.

keep a small spray bottle of Poorboys Bugsquash ... I believe in North Florida we now are seeing some luv-bug activity.

Sounds like a job for blue tape. There have also been a few products over the years that form a temporary spray-on coating, that will wash off later, I can't seem to find any here at AG though.

EDIT: Duplicolor Shield is a temporary spray-on bra, that's the most recent one I had heard about.

Went to Orlando last weekend and my car was covered in love bugs. They were so bad the covered the doors at the hotel. Good luck with your travels, remember to bring extra windshield wash.

I can confirm the love bugs in N.FL. I can also confirm that Bug Squash lives up to it's reputation for dealing with them.

I will definitely get some Bug Squash. I haven't let the wife use the Panamera for weeks now because of the love bugs. The car has never been rained on yet either...can you tell I am paranoid about it? I didn't know if other states had similiar hideous creatures like we do here in Florida.

Slight chance of bugs during the day with an increasing amount throughout the night.

Does the Panamera float??? After all the rain in eastern SC and NC, it might have to. The area around Fayetteville, NC has received almost 15" since Sunday and there will be a whole lot more tonight and tomorrow!!
