Default Moss on Roof

Hi All

How does this 'copper wire' malarky work to stop moss on a roof?

Where do you run the copper wire?

Tried it on my last house, I once hung copper stripped from 2.5mm
mains wire on the roof ridge in order
to reduce moss on my last house. Did reduce on the tiles nearest to
the wire but bugger all reduction else where, so not too sure if
copper really works. Went a nice shade of green after a while.


Reason I ask. The client is a pensioner living in a bungalow and the
gutters block with moss every few months.
I don't want to keep going back to clear them every couple of months so I'm
after a semi permanant solution.

If I completely remove all the moss it will be quite a big job so I'd like
it to last as long as possible.
