Moss Control
Mix iron sulfate with water in a spray bottle, and apply the solution to the moss. Let it dry for a couple of days, then brush away the loosened moss
However, the use of Zinc powder not only kills the moss on your roof.
The run-off process creates a funnel of water that is washed back into
the surrounding ecosystems. From there, the microscopic traces of zinc
sulfate can work its way into water sources and wildlife, posing a
hazard to the natural environment. Oregon State University states it is a
toxin to aquatic vertebrates. This procedure is invasive and highly corrosive.
For
cleaning your roof, you will need to test a small area with a 1%
Ferrous Sulphate solution (ie. 10gms/1L of water). If this does not give
the desired effect a stronger solution can be used up to a maximum of
5% Ferrous Sulphate (50gms/1L of water). If you make it too
strong, you may stain the roof – it’s not the end of the world – a spray
with oxalic acid will remove the staining, but I’d prefer just to see
your roof clear of moss!
