Would installing grill-tech grills help to protect the rad from bugs getting in?

a soft bristle brush used in the direction of the fins of the radiator will scrub the bugs off
Just be gentle- the fins are fragile

Are those the black bugs that are always on top of each other? We would get attacked by them when we were vactioning in Orlando.

We called them Sex Bugs.
