Just let them hit the radiator. If you put a screen in front they will just hit that and be more obvious and an eye sore. They don't hurt the radiator.

There are threads on here of guys who have done it with How To”s - just got to look. While yes the don’t hurt the radiator, if the bug population is rather large then over time if could slow the air flow causing higher temps. Just depends on the environment the OP is in.
