Obviously wash and wax, but is there any specific wax, method, or routine you find works best that you’d like to share. I loathe these dudes.

A front hood and bumper coating of WD40.

That’s a good idea. I know that people up north use a product called ACF-50 on their vehicles to protect against corrosion from salt on the roads, and wondered if that might work as well. What I like about it is apparently it doesn’t just wash off with water alone and sticks around a while.

I just slather a thick coat of this all over the front. Reapply as needed.

Wash it and get the ceramic spray wax. Takes less than <1min to apply and remove depending on the product.
Every other time after you wash reapply on the front bumper and hood during bug hatches after you finish removing anything that manages to stick.
The key is not to let them sit on your car for two weeks baking into the paint and leaving residue.

Glad we live north of those disgusting frickers.
It's uncouth.

The bugs beat me a long time ago. I wish I could keep perfect paint but it’s one of those things I had to let go of.

ACF-50
A lot of aviation companies use and swear by it on electrical connections. Some even mist it in internal fuselage areas. I sprayed it on every connector on my old chevy, truck and boat trailer and have yet to have any problems. Note: It is a penetrant and will seep into every crevice and corner. Use sparingly!

Live with it and use dryer sheets to EASILY clean them off
Ps. Wash off afterwards, hasn't ever damaged any of my cars but best to be safe
