It's been that time of year again where at the end of the day I can barely see out of my windshield due to the hundreds of dead insects.
I tried using bug cleaner windshield washer but I swear it did nothing. Biggest waste of $4.
Any suggestions on how to keep your windshield a bit cleaner?

Drive only during the rain when the bug are in hiding?
lol really not much you can do.
I found that wax type or rain x application helps as it puts a slippery film on windshield so bug comes off easier.snowlauncher, Canadianhauler21, Flat Earth Trucker and 2 others Thank this. -
A small amount of dawn dish washing soap mixed in washer tank will help get the bugs off your windows?

I spray a lil windex/great value window cleaner, let it soak a few seconds, then use wipers/washer fluid.
Putting a big shield on helps, I see a ton of them get knocked in the air by the wind draftDockbumper, D.Tibbitt, Canadianhauler21 and 3 others Thank this. -
I used to carry a car wash brush on a pole with me to better clean my windshield. Other drivers would see me using it and ask to borrow it.Speed_Drums, tscottme, spindrift and 3 others Thank this. -
You will notice that when the bugs hit, especially the big ones, that they tend to slide on the glass leaving guts and stuff in their trail. lolSpeed_Drums, tinytim, Flat Earth Trucker and 4 others Thank this. -

Vinegar and or Dawn. If you use vinegar (that’s what I use), you’ll need to use a couple of cups. I also run a couple of cups of vinegar (uncut) through the washer lines periodically so the nozzles don’t start clogging up and working half arse.
