Controlling Roof Moss

Controlling Roof Moss

We talked to Norm McCreight at Lilly Miller about getting rid of moss in your lawn. Today we chatted with Norm again to hear about the moss you find on your roof. Norm told us about a couple of products that Lilly Miller makes to take care of the problem.

We found out that the moss on your roof is different than the stuff in your grass and it might not even be moss. Norm explained that algae may be your problem. Also, if you fail to remove the moss from the roof you may be looking at expensive repairs in the long run. The moss will get underneath the shingles and allow moisture to get into wood supports.

He recommends using the new Moss-Out products that have been reformulated to be much safer than the older roof products. There are also some citrus based products that will be safe for your pets. Treat the problems now and when the weather warms up it will get rid of your moss and algae for good!
