I found a good coat of Rejex on the front makes them come off MUCH easier.

Ran though a swam of bees once driving though Frankfort KY. I was doing about 70 mph on the freeway. Felt lucky not to have wrecked because hundreds of bees became a paste covering the entire windshield & car. Sounded horrible too. What a mess.

I remember one time in Bedford, IN a LONG time ago there was a bridge over the White River and it was swarming with some type of bug and I remember piles of bugs by every guard rail upright and the tire tracks on the road were wet with bug guts! My car was COVERED with hundreds of them when I got home. Never seen anything like that before or since!

It was actually just a patch of them... I remember thinking it was sprinkling. It was getting dark and the guts were smearing on my windshield like rain...

So, only about an hour drive, but most of the bugs were from a few seconds of the drive!

One of the best things about Vegas is that our climate is so dry, we don't really have a bug problem. I can drive for miles on the highway without a single bug hit. But the minute I leave town, here come the bugs!
