Default Bug Melt by PPC

Today I bought a bottle of Bug Melt from PPC at the Airport Shop on the chance that it might work. If you haven't tried this stuff you need to. Walking the length of the wings with the pump bottle wetting the leading edges is the hard part of using this stuff. After about 30 seconds or so you can go back along the leading edges with a clean rag and the bugs are gone. For 90% or so of the bugs they wipe off with about as much effort as it takes to wipe water off of your kitchen countertop with a sponge. The rest you can put more elbow grease to remove or spray them again and let them soak for another minute or so. This product will be in my airplane from this point on.

Is the "bisexual formula" part a joke or is there really something different between the adhesion of male and female bugs? (insert joke here)

HA! Obviously the female bugs are more stubborn!

Uh, OH! We have females on this board!
