After cleaning the bumper real well. Try coating it with a little silicone spray lube on a rag or paper towel. You could use WD-40 but it won't stay on long enough :-)

Here in Fla we have problems with love bugs zillions of them. I take a rag and a jar of vasaline wipe my bumper and grill with a thin coat,and since mine is a 79 model i also do the front of the hood cause those little buggars will eat the paint.
