We went late September of 2005 and encountered tons of lovebugs, but not much else. I don't think we ever used bug spray. We returned last week of August 2006 and there were virtually no bugs (no lovebugs at all). There were, however, more snails than I've ever seen in my life. They were all over the paths at POP. I was more worried about mistakenly stepping on a snail (ick!)than any bugs.
