How to eliminate mosquitoes from the car

Like bird droppings and tree resin, insect remains, mainly from mosquitoes, are among the most difficult stains to remove when washing your car.

You can find this type of insect throughout the year, but it is when temperatures rise and humidity increases that this problem becomes more severe.

Removing mosquitoes from your car is difficult for the following reasons:

1. Despite being small bodies, when they impact your car, they become embedded in its bodywork, making removal difficult.
2. Their fluids dry out in the air and heat, which makes cleaning them difficult.
3. When you try to clean them with a brush or sponge, if you’re not careful, their remains can scratch your car’s paint.

How to remove mosquitoes from the windshield

As we mentioned earlier, removing mosquitoes from your car is very difficult, since they dry out and stick firmly. If you’re going to take a long drive like a trip, the best thing you can do is fill your windshield washer reservoir with water and use it as soon as you have some insect remains on the glass. Don’t wait too long, as they dry out and it’s almost impossible to remove them with the windshield wipers.

Of all the products you can use to remove mosquitoes from your car’s bodywork, active foam is the best. You apply it and let the foam work for a few minutes to dislodge the insect, then clean it with a paper towel and dry it with another clean paper afterwards.

On our website you can find our product AUTOCLEAN PLUS, which is a bodywork shampoo with excellent cleaning power specially designed for removing mosquitoes adhered to your vehicle. It is a concentrated product, highly foaming and easy to rinse off.

Another way to prevent insects from becoming too embedded in your car’s bodywork is to use rain repellent to pre-treat your windshield washer. This type of product prevents mosquitoes from adhering and makes cleaning easier.

How to remove mosquitoes from the paint

The front of your car, mainly the front edge of the hood, is one of the areas that receives the most mosquito impacts and therefore suffers the most. To prevent mosquitoes from becoming too embedded in the paint, it’s good to use waxes that protect it and prevent the remains from embedding too deeply.

One of the things you need to keep in mind when removing mosquito remains from your car’s bodywork is not to scrub the remains with a sponge, as doing so could cause the hard parts of these insects’ bodies to scratch the paint.

Follow these steps to remove mosquitoes from the front of your car:

1. Dampen the area affected by mosquitoes with warm water and leave it for a few minutes to take effect.
2. At a car wash, use hot water spray with soap to remove the most solid and hard remains. When washing your car with pressurized water spray, be careful with the license plate numbers, as it is quite easy to remove the white adhesive with the water jet.
3. Once no mosquito body remains are left, you can remove the stains from the bodywork by rubbing with a sponge or brush.
