I demossed a lady's roof in February and went by from time to time to see if mother nature has done her job. Well,she hasn't. The roots were dead,but still clinging to the shingles. I could not rub it off with my fingers. I rinsed a section off with the garden sprayer. It got wet,softened up and started to let go. Picking some of the stuff out of the gutter,it was still quite fibrous and did not crumble. Perhaps we have not had the heat yet to really dry it. Time will tell.

I am quite concerned because I have been telling customers it will all disappear and aparently  that is not the case. I did a house the other day that was covered and a lot of it would not come off with a light scrub and I had spots after scrubbing that were like a shag carpet and boy does it drink the bleach. I may have to tell them it may have to be rinsed if it does not come off,but then I don't want to wash away all the granules.

Can someone with "BAD" moss experience tell me what to expect. Will the weather "eventually" remove it?

Another small job,I killed these little boss blobies and now they are like dried dirt. I can pick them off and crumble them with my fingers,but they are not disappearing on thier own.
