I've been using this since we get a lot of them over here too...works pretty good. If I'm on the highway a lot sometimes I wash them off every day.

Here is one that is good for before you go out driving to help make it easier to get them off.

It is not "preventative" but an older gentleman gave me a tip on the way home from Orlando a few years ago. He said to get a fabric softener sheet and gently scrub them off when washing the front end of the vehicle. Been doing it every wash since. Bugs come off fairly easy.

One more....fold one up and put it in the inside of your ball cap. I know it works to keep the Bama black gnats away from your face but im not sure about the no-see-ums you guys have in FL. Hate those stupid things!
