Has anyone heard of a bug repellant to put on your car to keep the bugs off of my front bumper? i live in farm country, so as soon as it gets dark all of the bugs swarm in front of my car and my WHITE front bumper is suddently black and red (blood from mosquitos). i'm tired of having to scrub the front bumper daily and i want something easier to use ... any ideas???
i've tried searching, and i couldnt find anything using my search terms, but if you know of something, let me know.

Just make sure to wax your car on a regular basis and at least at that point they come off far easier...

Buy a bra, this way the bugs say off your car.
Just be sure to take it off and wash under it every once in a while becuase it gets dusty.

Way better option than the bra is the lamin-x, it's not just for tails, just use that....

Yeah, definately take it off regularly, bras can actually do more harm than good if unmaintained

just dont drive at night....or during the day for that matter...no bugs!
i'll X2 what was already said, tons of wax and make sure you continue to take them off and don't let them bake on...and if they're bad, tutle wax has bug and tar remover.

Deer whistles don't work.... Even if they did, Deer are still attracted to headlights for some reason... :lol: Still, I've never heard of bug whistles....

take the bugs off with the bug and tar remover (as stated earlier) and wash and wax the whole car afterwards. Should wax once a week, at least. (I haven't, but I know I should...)
