let's see 2, 4, 6, every spot is 2 kills,   cooldude  great job thinning the herd Jack !  We had some earlier this week and my truck shield looked like that but they seem to have lightened up by Friday. Why are they so hard to clean up, no love for that bug here.  Angry

Life is like a hot bath. It feels good while you’re in it, but the longer you stay in, the more wrinkled you get.

What DD said. We use a sprayer on a bottle of Hydrogen Peroxide.  Squirt and let it eat the protein in the eggs for a few minutes then rinse them off.  To my knowledge it never damaged the paint.  They seem to be swarming up here also.

The Love Bugs Are Terrible Around Lake Okeechobee ! You Had Better Keep Your Mouth Closed While Walking Around Or Some Would Get In. They Were So Thick Yesterday That I Could Not Go To My Truck From The Store Without Being In A Swarm Of Them!
