I washed a house this weekend that had the dreaded BLACK SPOTS. I have read all the posts on the search I could find but there seems to be no easy method of removing this beast. Luckily the other power washers in my area are at a loss too as to what works. I've heard them called everything from spider eggs to tar spots. Is there anyone out there who has a simple answer?? One post mentioned a citrus cleaner that worked. I had luck with gasoline on a small area but I'm not about to tackle a large area on a house with an accellerant like that!!! I have never run into a problem getting paid if I couldn't get it off but I would like to know just out of curiosity!!

Jeff, there is no one in the scientific/chemical world that has figured a way to remove artillery fungus once it has passed the 10-14 day mark. Check the links that Mark has put up - We actually put a disclaimer in our larger contracts now regarding the nasties. It's possible to remove them with some acids but it is very costly and most homeowners won't pay it. We also advise them to remove the mulch and use a chemical in those areas then replace with something else.

Today i estimated a house, and there was black spots along the front siding of her porch. I have seen this before and i could not get it off with my pressure. I can peel it off with my fingernail, but thats about it. Can this be a form of artillery fungus?

Did it leave a little brownish stain behind that wouldn't come off? If so - you've found it! If not, could be bug poop and you're in luck
