Rejex question: do you guys use it just on the bumper and mirrors where bugs go to commit suicide or on the whole car?

Whole car including accessible wheel surfaces and external mirrors--excluding glass, rubber, and unpainted plastic. Apply every six months. Follow instructions about curing time away from sun and water. Also available at True Value hardware stores. My local TV stores don't carry it but will order without shipping charges for store pickup. Will last for years when stored in refrigerator (not freezer) and air squeezed out after use

Today, May 17th, Tampa/Brandon Florida. Love Bugs are not too heavy/noticeable today.
But, I imagine they will still be around for a couple/few more days. But they are NOT has heavy as they were earlier.
By the end of the month they should not be a concern.

I drove down to Key West from GA a week ago and on the way down, I got plastered between Daytona Beach and Miami. I had a good coat of wax and Rainx on the windshield. Pulled into the car wash on the Navy Base when I got there and washed them off. On the way back, I didn't see many bugs. Maybe I killed them all on the way down
