sandspider Posted February 16 Report Share Posted February 16 Hi folks We have quite a lot of moss on our roof. In the past I've sprayed it with some recommended moss killer from a DIY shed which didn't seem to do much. Can anyone recommend a good moss killer that will actually kill the moss, and ideally stop it coming back for a while? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ditchman Posted February 16 Report Share Posted February 16 run a strip of copper along the ridge on both sides Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandspider Posted February 16 Author Report Share Posted February 16 I'm told that doesn't actually work? In any case, I can't get to the ridge, I'll be spraying from a window! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
discobob Posted February 16 Report Share Posted February 16 I had also heard about Zinc as well. Our roof needs doing soon as well - so following. If I went up on the roof I would find the quickest way down!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stimo22 Posted February 16 Report Share Posted February 16 As Dutchman has said a copper strip along the ridge works, I know of a large hotel complex that has a strip top and bottom of roof and it is nearly clear of moss compared to local buildings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ditchman Posted February 16 Report Share Posted February 16 spray twice/year with CuSo4 copper sulphate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandspider Posted February 16 Author Report Share Posted February 16 Huh, I thought copper strips were an urban legend! Maybe I'll see if I can try a bit somewhere within reach. Like Discobob, I fear falling off our roofs, and they're quite high! So spraying would be easier if I can find something that works...
