Florida Drivers Beware! Love Bug season has begun!

[Logal727]

I have heard that they will come off easily using dryer sheets. Has anybody else tried that? I will be checking the front end daily from now on throughout the month of May!

I’ve got the Meguiars detailer spray, works great

I have been using the Turtle Wax Ceramic detailer. Will probably need to apply it more often during love bug season. Yesterday my Wife brought the car home looking like this. Ugh!!!

Ugh!! Is it just me or has this been the longest love bug season ever? I’m still killing them off on a daily basis!

Are they still here, or did Darksaber and I manage to miss them? I’m waiting for car care products to arrive, think I need to add another mentioned above.

Speaking of bugs, not a single monarch butterfly has visited our milkweed patch this season so far
There are less and less of them every year.

Ooo. My. Goodness!!! Wow

They are gone. Ended about 3rd week in May for central FL. Next season about 9/1.

They are gone for now but they will be back again in September!

I will be ready for them! Stocking up now on cleaning supplies. Just wish I could find my pressure washer.

My goodness . . . what do motorcycle riders do?? They would need a full face shield helmet, and even then the little window would be difficult to see out of after a few good bug hits, sounds dangerous!

It’s doable, I used to ride a motorcycle year round down here! Mainly putting this thread back up for anyone seriously thinking about driving thru Florida during September! Lol

I live in Miami and I have not seen these yet. I do however have a lot of issues with little yellow droppings on my car. Seems like I just wash my car and drive it home and I have yellow droppings all over. is this bug p**p or what is it? it is pretty bad and happens a lot lately.

Hard to know for sure without seeing a pic, but my best guess is that it is pollen. I get a lot of that on my MME as well. This is why having some waterless wash or detail spray along with some clean soft microfiber towels really helps to keep the MME clean between washes.

Tis the Season! We went to the Tampa Auto Show on Sunday morning. Coming back in the afternoon on hwy 60 they were out but not in massive numbers!

Here is coastal Georgia, we get our lovebugs in May and September. Always a good time. Not.

Got Colonel Mustard last Wednesday and the bugs have already attacked him. And a bird had the nerve to poop on him. Luckily it rains here everyday!!!!
