Take a cold wet cloth and drape it over it and let it sit for a few minutes.&nbsp\\; Disintegrates the buggers.&nbsp\\; Also Lemon Pledge works&nbsp\\;pretty good.&nbsp\\;

Peroxide.&nbsp\\; I put it in a small spray bottle, and soaked the bugs down with it, keep them wet for about 30 seconds, then just hose them off, I couldn't believe that they came off so easy.
