Get them off within 24 hours, or your paint will pit. The acid in these bugs eats through the paint. A good wax weekly helps, but daily washes are required.

Washing the vehicle daily isn't worth it! I'll drive for a day and can't see. Clean the windshield and go another day. Just make sure it's waxed up really thick on the front and that'll buy the time haha


I hate those little bastards. But hey welcome to florida, we have Lovebug Season, Rainy Season, Tourist Season, and Hurricane Season

Lol. New Orleans has the same seasons. Plus, as a bonus, it's always murder season.

We have that murder season too; it's all year round. Latest case is the Zimmerman "stand your ground" issue. Sad, very sad.

Don't forget to add the college football season! Lots of great college football teams here. Starts lots of good rivalry.

Yeah.....go USF!!!! Lol there are a lot of murders, and I have no sympathy or input on the Zimmerman case. I wasn't there.
