LOL....My trip on I-75 my car was covered with them. Was for the first time actually happy I wasn't o my bike. Hate riding during this season. But it does seem like they are worse closer to the highway then in my neighborhood.

You didn't kill 'em all! I washed about 175 pounds of them off my bike today. I am done riding until they are gone.

I hate to jinx myself, but it is truly shocking that I did not encounter a single love bug today from Sarasota to Arcadia and back. We have been really wet, so maybe they drowned?

Left CR to High Springs not bad but HS to Lake Butlar - Lake City back to G-ville you couldn't get out of the damn things.... At the rest area on 75 s of Lake Cty everyone who pull over was cleaning windshields......Took as much time to clean as it did riding. I am Parked for a while until they are gone !

Not bad if you hug the coast. Very heavy on the inland roads through pine forests.

If you killed them all in Alachua, they returned with a vengance. Just driving 2 miles down the road my car was covered in them. And...my windshield fluid lines are leaking so no clean windows for me
