    I read that as well but I scrubbed at the spots and they didn't go away. Since I posted the pics, some of them have begun to rust as well. I'm hating these pests! I wanted to make sure it was wax they were attracted to so I washed my wife's car as well and found literally thousands afterwards. I'm going to teach myself how to be an exterminator because these bugs are ridiculous!
