The infestation this year has been horrendous. They have decided my orchid house/patio/porch is the "in" place to hang out. It's October 1st and they are not gone yet.
Getting into the front door is a problem as they are all over the door, in the screen, on the door knobs, coating the screens of the orchid house and everywhere.
They seem to be cognizant of the fact that I am not euthanizing bugs on my land and are taking full advantage of my good nature.
Tree frogs and lizards won't eat love bugs. Evidently bats don't eat love bugs either. Mosquitoes aren't afraid of love bugs and love bugs are not afraid of you. And that's all I am going to say.

We recently visited Orlando, FL for several days, and I agree the infestation is horrible this year. At least they don't sting or bite, because they sure are a swarming nuisance.

I HATE love bugs...they are so nasty the birds won't even eat them! And they do a real number on the paint of your vehicle if you don't wash them off in a timely manner. YUCK!!
