Definitely. Attach it at the bottom then close the bonnet over the top, that way you can just shake them out and put it back in place.

Just drive it to a car wash and let our subcontinental friends worry about it

At the very least you can always go for a midnight climb to ring in the new year!

Just got back from 2 days at araps, yes there are heaps of them about, walking to the base of climbs is quite entertaining with the swarms of them you disturb. However they are only a problem when driving the car (stop and clean your windscreen every now and then, and use some mesh as already suggested.)

No problems when climbing.
