Lovebug Hell

[imported_Termigator]

One of fastest and least expensive ways to remove Love Bugs is with clothes dryer sheets such as Bounce although any brand will work. Wet the area with the bugs, wet the dryer sheet and wash them off. Whatever chemical they use as a softener acts as a cleaner. It will remove any wax or sealant but will not scratch your car or windsheild. But, as always, test in a safe place first.

Having been born and raised in Florida and lived here all my life I can say that this year`s Love Bugs are considerably less in quantity than previous years. I think the extreme cold weather we had this winter put a dent in the population.

The millions of lovebugs that were flying all around me at Sebastian Inlet begs to differ!:biggrin:

You`re probably right, though. It seemed like I just ran into heavy concentrations of them along the coast. I haven`t seen any around here in Oviedo and my wife`s car has some bugs on them from her commute to Rockledge, but they`re nowhere as thick as on mine.

Wow, those things are nasty.

I was at Disney World a few years ago during Love Bug Season, and they were everywhere. The Monorail was covered in them.

One good thing about being in the North East (no Love Bugs).
