This weekend, I had a two hour drive back from my parents' house. Washed my car just after leaving their house but the front end still got nailed with bugs. And the worst part is when they get in the fake corner vents. They are next to impossible to clean out completely. Maybe I could mount some frogs on my bumper to catch flies before they go splat. (Yea, it is stupid, but I don't see anyone else coming up with any better ideas )

You would need, speaking from a "frogs" point of view, a little bitty set of googles for each frog, and would have to rotate them, you would need a few.

I would get Venus Fly Traps planted in those vents.

Ok, this one's better: Mount a vacuum in the trunk. route hoses to the fake grill sections, and then knock out those sections. It won't catch them all, but here's the best part. After a road trip or two you should have sufficient ammo in the cannister of your vac. Now, you just need a system to extract the bugs efficiently, and then another system to launch the bug guts onto the cars of tailgaters.

oh, and BTW, you do not want those bugs on your cars very long. Even they are way dead, they are still hungry and like to eat clearcoat.

check this stuff out. I bought it recently for a roadtrip that i took to orlando. i washed and dried the car and then used this stuff on it. when i finally got home, the entire front end was black from lovebugs. I took a hose nozzle to it and everything just rinsed off, bugs included! I highly recommend this stuff :D
