How To Tackle A LoveBug Swarm In Your Yard

Stephanie White Nelson took to Facebook to share how she got rid of the lovebugs that were swarming her doors. All she did was put a small amount of water in a bright white bowl, then added in a couple spoonfuls of baby oil. After sitting the bowl outside for just 30 minutes, it was completely full of lovebugs.

Obviously the bugs are attracted to the solution and the white bowl for some reason. And whatever the scientific reasoning is behind the attraction, it obviously works. Stephanie’s post has almost 5,000 comments and over 43,000 shares! So if you’re having a problem with lovebugs in your outdoor spaces, this simple hack sounds like it’s definitely worth a shot. Thanks for sharing, Stephanie!
