I love rolling down the highway in our motorhome with my sweetie next to me and my puppies close by.\u00a0 What I don’t like is the hundreds, maybe thousands, of bugs that get pasted to the front of the motorhome.\u00a0 You might think the problem wouldn’t be so bad when the landscape is desert but that isn’t always the case.\u00a0 But whatever, after a while, the front of our rig looks like a\u00a0museum Entomology exhibit.\u00a0 It’s not a look I prefer so I’ll get out our\u00a0bucket, hose, and soap and start washing odd the swarms of bugs.\u00a0 There were hundred, maybe thousands, of little bug bodies dried securely to the car.\u00a0 Yuck!<\/p>\n

How do I remove those pesky little guys?<\/h2>\n

I made myself a \u201cBug Scrubber\u201d and have at them.\u00a0 A great feature of my DIY Bug Scrubber is it is easy on the vehicle’s pain.\u00a0 \u00a0 Here\u2019 how I made one:<\/p>\n

You\u2019ll need a plastic net bag (like the store sells onions in), scissors, and elastic tape or thread.<\/p>\n

\"cut<\/a><\/div>\n
Remove all the labels and hard things on your plastic bag.<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n
Fold the plastic bag in half.<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n
Using a simple “running stitch, weave your elastic thread or tape through the bag.<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n
Pull the elastic tight so it scrunches up and tie tightly.\u00a0 And there you have a Bug Scrubber.<\/div>\n
