Mud Dobber Nests

[propressurewashing 17]

It has been so hot and dry this summer in Houston that mud dobbers are moving their nests from the ground on to houses. They build a mud nest generally in corners especially between the ceiling and wall.

UI generally hit the nest with one of my down streaming tips so I don't damage the paint or stucco but there is always a brown stain left behind. Anyone ever figure out how to get this stain to go away? If it is on a flat wall a soft bristled brush does okay but when it's in a corner I just never have much luck!

You need a stiff corner brush to clean the stain left by mud daubers. Home Depot sells them for $6. Dip it in some strong detergent and scrub away. It will even attach to an extension pole if you don't want to get on a step ladder. I cleaned over a dozen of them today!

AFTER initial cleaning, as previously said use stiff brush w/ Bleach and a little water.

It won't remove the the entire stain but 99.9% WILL BE gone.

May post pics - b/a later
