We will be leaving in a week going north on I-75 from Ft Laudedale, Fl to I-10 and then west on I-10. Just wondering if the love bugs have made their appearance yet?

. Don, we were on I-10 today. A few love bug splatters but no more than 8 from I-75 to Near Pensacola.

Pam was a bad experience. I apply fresh wax and then wash as soon as you can. They dry up and are harder to get off plus they etch the paint.

Love Bugs???? Like Herbie? How many of those old cars can there still be around. You really shouldn't run them over you know.

Just got back from a central Fl to west GA trip with our truck camper. Thoroughly covered the front of the TC and the grill of the truck. About 20 percent were love bugs, the remaining life forms seem to be smaller skeeters and other assorted no see-um types of critters.

I will be engaging my jack hammer and grinder today to forcibly remove the new attachments to the front of both pieces of equipment. With intense grinding and chiseling I hope to return the color to the original "white" from the now black cowlings.

And don't forget the clothespin for your nose, those dudes be b-a-d!

Does spraying the area with Pam work? I've had that recommended.
