Leaving Monday on a trip from Ft Lauderdae using the Florida Turnpike. Was wondering how the love bugs are along the Turnpike? Thanks

We came across the alley a week ago driving back to Palmetto from Miami. They weren't real bad there was one stretch of road where we hit them pretty hard. Not near as bad this year.

X1000! I never believed this as read on this forum until I had to remove love bugs from the front of my TT. Nothing was working well, and then I remembered this tip and got set with my phone camera to disprove it via video.

Not such video was taken. Proof was in the ease of how easily this method actually works. Try it - you WILL see the light!

Go to Harley Davidson shop and buy S-100. Easy love bug removal. You'll be surprised. Spray on let sit 3 minutes and wipe off. Make sure that you rinse good. Ok for all finishes.

What are those love bugs made out of, epoxy?

We traveled to Sam Rayburn Reservoir in east Texas twice in April. The lovebugs were out! It was a chore to get them off the RV but my husband did it.

Then our neighbor suggested that next time we spray the front with PAM and they will come off easily. Seems like if we sprayed it on the top it would drip onto the windshield 9our Class C does not have the cab over).

I did an Internet search on how to remove them and came up with many, many different solutions.

Have seen little to none love Bugs during May. If you get any best remover is alot of water. Soak them let sit for abit then wash off.

The love bugs haven't been that bad this year. We are in central Florida but we are thinking the drought has had an effect on them this year. Sooooo glad!
