Has anybody noticed the amount of insects that are attracted to the color yellow?
After washing mine down this afternoon I thought I was living in the tropics.
Every flying insect known to man is in love with my box.

 

Yes!! LOL I have noticed that as well. I have a little over 700 miles on my box now and the windshield looks like I drove through the Amazon jungle.

 

Very true the front of the car is always filled with bugs

 

My biggest pet peve is having a buggy windshield!!...I clean my windshield at least twice a day! I keep a rag and window cleaner in the back seat when the time comes to clean the huge splats off!

In Oregon we have little bugs called "miggies" that the state released to keep mesquitos down. Well the mesquitos are gone, but we have millions of the miggies every where thier is pooling water!

If I drive across town on the highway, when i get back I have to rinse my car off! no joke!

 

For use with beneficial insects as an indicator of potential pest problems. Recommended for trapping insects that are attracted to the color yellow. Some insects attracted to this color yellow are Flying Aphids, Fungus Gnats, Whiteflies, Leafminers, and Carrot Rust Flies. The Stiky Cards are bright yellow plastic sheets, coated on two sides with a specially formulated sticky goo. Peel off the protective covering, hang them or stake them in place, and they'll catch insects until they are covered.

Apparently there is a product of sticky yellow cards that attract "harmful" to garden insects. That seriously blows...

 

San Diego doesn't have many bugs fortunately. Only two, really. Every spring we get a lot of butterflys but year round we have VWs. Haven't had too much trouble with the later...


If stares were bugs I'd be washing my car constantly!

 

its true......even without the car---if you're wearing yellow, youre percentage of getting stung by a bee is higher than if you wore other colors. funny though, cause arent a lot of bugs color blind? iono *shrugs*

 

i always have a lot of bugs all over my car, as soon as i wash it there are bugs all over it, even in the garage!

 

I don't think it's just for the yellow boxes... I've decimated generations of bugs in the almost 50,000 miles I've driven in just under two years.

Them's the joys of a big steep rectangular windshield on an un-aerodynamic car.

I'm also almost on windshield #3... two big rock bruises are just waiting to make me replace this windshield.

But I still wouldn't trade the car away.....

I got the same problem...Today was the first day I drove with the front windows down, the bugs seems to be attracted to the inside as much as the outside....Sucks!

 

I think all yellow cars are like that. My last car was a yellow Cooper and I had the same problem keeping the bugs away.

 

The amount of insects in my box is so ridiculous. I am kind of amused by it.

 

IN your box, you have bugs IN your box?

 

I notice quite a few that are attracted to the yellow. Crazy when your washing your box and while drying it seems like the bugs want to use it as a runway to land on....lol

 

noticed same thing 1st day had the car was lookin it over n saw bugs, swated them away with my hand... they just came back... i still love my bug magnet..

 

No joke bugs love my box. My buddy had a yellow acura same problems.

 

One of the best investments I've made for my xB is a BugFlector II for the hood. No more bugs on the windshield. I also have a LeBra on the front to guard the lower half.

 

Maybe that why my car attracts so may birds?

To eat the bugs

Has anyone else notice that their Scion Xb attracts birds?
