Getting rid of the Florida love bugs off cars?

Anyone have any recommendations on getting rid of what we call here in Florida - love bugs?

Love bugs are those darn little black bugs that mate with each other while flying. The only come out a couple of times a year.

Dang, I'm only a "Junior Member?" Luckily, I didn't find this website until now or I'd never get any work done at work. I've been on UCFSports.com all of these years talking UCF football, etc.

I know everyone can be a bit skeptical about waterless carwash stuff, but I bought into this company out of jacksonville that sells it. Its amazing, I live in florida as well so i have the bug problem, but one of the products they have is the basic wash in a special applicator and a "bug pad", and I have yet to find a bug that it wont remove...if you want to know more about this stuff PM me

Theres a bunch of stuff you can use. Amazing Roll Off, P21s Total Auto Wash, 1z Anti-Insekt, 3M adhesive cleaner, PB Bug Squash, the list goes on. Then apply a sealant so they dont stick as well.

I am over there, too. I spend more time here, though.

Welcome, fellow Knight.
