Bug Poop?

Some contaminants that can collect on your home’s exterior are spider webs, bug fecal matter and bird droppings. Some homes are more prone to these impurities than others. We all know what spider webs and bird droppings look like but what about bug poop?

I see this quite often mostly on vinyl or wood sided homes around the porch lights. The best way to describe what it looks like is to compare it to the front of your car after driving down a country road on a warm summer night. Yes, it looks like bug guts and splatter almost like your house went for a drive hitting every bug insight.

This matter can be hard to get off without the proper cleaners, don't try to do it with extreme pressure from a pressure washer because the results still won't be satisfactory and you could easily damage your siding. Pulling every cleaning bottle out from under the sink isn't a good idea either as they could also damage or discolor the siding.

Try using some dish soap, hot water, and a little elbow grease using a soft cloth or sponge. Do not use anything abrasive that might scratch the surface. A quality cleaning company can also be the solution to the problem, after getting your home cleaned have the bug exterminator spray around the house. This will help to keep the bug poop and spider webs to a minimum.
