Default Cleaning gutters

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the

saying something like:

Anyone got advice on clearing vegetation from very high gutters?
Is there any kind of robot that goes round gutters cleaning them?
Or anything else short of hiring a "cherry picker"?


A long pole with a hooked-over profiled scraper.


Drain rod set with a 'drop scraper'. Means you don't have to move the
ladder much once up. The scraper doesn't fit all gutters that well, but 5
mins with an angle grinder would modify it to suit.

I did see a gadget once for gutter cleaning with a pressure washer, never
tried it though.
