    Bug Splat Removal made easy

    Tried this trick today to remove a couple of billion dried bug splats from my camper. Holy crap is this easy I had the rig clean in less than 30 minutes with minimal effort. Dryer sheets (bounce) , you wet them, wet the bug splats. Rub the wet dryer sheets over all the bugs. let it sit for about 10 minutes lightly rubbed with a kitchen scrub pad and hosed everything off...totally clean

    Wow would have never thought that. I wonder what kind of chemical is in the dryer sheets that eats the bug guts.

    sort of my thoughts too. I got the trick from the Truck Camping Forum on Facebook. I can't believe how easy the splats came off. I'm sold

    Kind of remember the first time I was old enough to see a bug splat on the windshield. Dad started laughing and said well he won't have enough guts to do that again.

    My best guess is that for any one round trip to Alaska I've picked up and transported in excess of a 100 pounds of mosquito guts---no---I don't feel bad---I call it getting even
