RkyMtnHigh 0 #1 May 18, 2005 These little nats are all over my black SUV. They've covered my headlights, windshield, and hood. They aren't coming off when I wash the car. Any suggestions of what products to use to get them off? (other than a Brillo pad which would take the paint with the bugs) It's also officially summer here as well. The predictable 2pm rain shower came right on time, cleared to nice sunny blue skies with increased humidity. _________________________________________ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But they have acidic blood and no natural predetors so they are here to stay, but the good news is they only live long enough to hump, so they arent here for long.
