Do bug/rock deflectors work?

I'm for bug deflectors.......sort of.....

 

From my experience, that looks like a WYOMING mosquito. Ever been to Wyoming? At dusk, huge dragons [mosquitos] show up and cover every inch of exposed skin; they suck up huge amounts of blood, compared to a Missouri mosquito. I mean, without face netting and all skin covered up, it is a strict NO GO situation.

 

I've read through all the bug deflection threads on here and I still have no idea what I want to do. If there's only anecdotal evidence of them actually working, I don't want one. That said, I trust our sage members.

So conflicted.

 

Nice job on the tires, the white lettering makes it all come together, great look. Much better without the bug guard.
