Hydrogen Peroxide=H2O2.. its just water with an extra Oxygen molecule... why dilute it further??

A wet towel just draped over the fairing/windshield for 10 minutes or so softens them up and allows to wipe them off too fairly easy.

They are infesting our area now too. I'm fairly certain that they only travel in pairs and pairs of pairs, so you can never hit just one.

I won't be surprised when I hit a whole carpet of them.

Why not use Sulfuric acid? It's H2SO4 which is just water with this one little sulfur molecule and a couple extra oxygens....

(I think someone slept through high school chemistry...)
