Moss Infestations

Moss Infestations And Rooftops

Being the perfect climate for moss infestations to grow and takeover it can be surprising where moss grows. Made of small fungal cells moss has the ability to grow in the smallest of places including in between tiles on the roof.

When removing moss from tiled roofs it goes without saying that safety precautions need to be taken to prevent any accidents. That is before you start worrying about the moss removal substance itself.

Many moss removal products on the market contain a high pH and many harmful toxins and chemicals which can inflict serious skin damage. This is the last thing anyone needs whilst working up on the roof.

By using a water based moss removal product this danger is significantly reduced. Water based solutions contain no hazardous chemicals which can affect the user. A high proportion of products contain toxic chemicals which are good for moss removal but have adverse effects on the surrounding environment and the user of the product.

Posing a risk for the user also poses a threat to anyone on the ground as well. As the substance gets washed away by hand or by natural sources like the rain the toxic chemicals can then infect anything on the ground below. Keeping harmful substances under control is difficult but when being used on the roof it becomes much harder to keep it out of the reach of children.

Although using a water based solution for the control of moss contains no chemicals it still contains iron which is the traditional agent used in moss growth control. Having the non toxic iron complex replaces the need for any harmful chemicals and has proven to be more effective than the other substances available on the market.

Being non toxic also means that the water based solution for moss removal is also friendly to any vegetation you have in your garden. Being economically friendly, as the substance is washed off of the roof tiles any residue which falls to the ground cannot deal any damage to your plants or shrubbery as there are no chemicals present in the mixture.

So not only is a water based moss removal product safer for all of the family it also looks after the environment and prevents any damage to your garden on the ground below. Having a water based moss removal solution is the only option to keep your family safe from hazardous chemicals.
