Hi All,

The house siding is full if spider webs etc.. *Nothing really new just
wondering if there is a solution.

Live in ChicagoLand. *Hot and humid in the summertime.

Aluminum siding painted last summer with Zinsser primer and Pittsburgh
Ultra acrylic. *Wondering if applying some of the big box store bug
stuff(Bayer etc..) *would be good?

Concerns are yellowing runs, drips and erros (Cubs are gonna win this
year...have faith to go)

Input would be appreciated


Try not to use chemicals! It will end up in in the environment and
drains and then into the lakes and other water supplies.
Some people just spray off siding with a hose attachment or not too
high a pressure sprayer (can be rented). However, depending on type of
siding be careful of driving water in behind it.
A good downpour of rain may also dislodge them and clean the siding.
Does it rain in Chicago?
Never had to spray down our pine siding, single storey; just brush
away any really annoying webs with soft broom. Then clean the broom on
convenient bush or tree and or wash it in the sink.
