O.T. Bugs on the windshield?

IA Roy · Sep 19, 2013

I was talking to a friend the other night and don't know how the subject was brought up. He mentioned and I agreed that there are not nearly the bugs that used to be around here. Any ideas? Are the pesticide sprays killing off the environment? On a side note, we have not had any mosquitos this year. With the drought last year I was not surprised, but with the near record rains in May and June, I expected a rebound. Didn't happen?

You must be living right, cause around here there are just as many grease spots on the windshield, and more westnile then ever.

If I run the van for 1 hr my windshield needs cleaned bad. in NW Pa.

They don"t seem to be as bad this year in N. Central and N. E. Tx either.

I"m sure they"ll make up for it next year.

N MN was worse than normal this year.

The mosquitos are not too bad here in Middle Tennessee, but the ticks and chiggers are everywhere.

I just got over a load of chigger bites about a week ago (the bites lasted about three weeks) but I still have at least six tick bites in various stages of healing.

I hate winter, but I sure am looking forward to a break from the bugs.

In my part of Iowa I haven't had enough bug hits on the windshield to cause a bother either. Zero on the corn borer moths too. We must have made six 300 mile round trips to Council Bluffs or Omaha since the beginning of summer so the van hasn't been in the garage all the time.

This morning on my way home from town I met a gravel truck at the wrong time and now I have two rock chips to be repaired. Sounded like a hail storm. Jim

Plenty of bugs and lots of spiders near Ann Arbor. Grasshoppers, mosquitos, chickadees, box elder bugs, to name a few. Bats are enjoying a feast and living free rent in the house walls and attic. The ground is all shiny with black ants too.

Plenty here in Ohio. You can clean the car one day take a trip to work and it's covered the next day. I give up on cleaning it !
We had lost of rain too so plenty of mosquitos

Not many here in SE Iowa. Drove to North Central KS 500 miles and not many there either! Birds are going hungry. Tree leaves are not all chewed up like usual. Trees are dying.

LME · Sep 19, 2013

We have plenty of bugs here(NE KS) also so many grasshoppers they are eating the tomatoes and bromegrass.

RayP(MI) · Sep 19, 2013

Flies in the house are a problem this year. Wish I could get grandkids to not hold the door open all the time!

Don't have a single mosquitoe here in SWMO ...... they all married and got families. Seriously, it's been bad here, thick mosquitoes.

Mike (WA) · Sep 19, 2013

About normal in the great Pacific Northwest, although we never have much other than mosquitos and grasshoppers, and neither of them get too involved with windshields.

Wife and I were talking the other evening as we sat out on the porch about the lack of lightning bugs. It's unusual to see one now, but when we were kids you could fill a fruit jar with them in just a little while.

Seemed normal here in the northeast.

You can bet he won't have the guts to do that again.

We got plenty of bugs here in Md. Mostly them dammed brown marmadukerated stinkbugs- another gift from Chin-A....

JBMac · Sep 19, 2013

Be glad you don"t live in Florida, we are enduring the second lovebug flush of the year. They are numerous, stink, love white trucks and generally obnoxious.

Hoenes · Sep 19, 2013

Not "bug" related, but I thought it strange I only had 1 humming bird this year, I usually have over 20 around the feeders. Might be the prolonged drought.

Move to east central Arkansas. We have a bumper crop of bugs.
