What Is Artillery Fungus | Can It Be Removed By Pressure Washing?

In this video we explain what artillery fungus is and if it should be removed from your siding via pressure washing. Simply put, artillery fungus will shoot small black specks (spores) up into the air that will cling to nearby surfaces such as siding and vehicles. We show you what to look for and what NOT to do when it comes to this pesky little fungus.

Rubber mulch have same problem?

[@airmojo]

I was wondering about that myself... expensive stuff, but if it lasts a lot longer and none of this artillery fungus then it is well worth it !

I am not familiar with it in rubber mulch. It is not a very widely used mulch where we are located, and the areas that we have serviced.

So when it’s on there just leave it? Nothing you can do?

[@elegantestatesofthefingerl2087]

Unfortunately, yes. There have been some people who have been successful when scrubbing it off but if it is on vinyl or painted siding and there is oxidation present, it will remove the oxidation and then cause "bright" spots on your siding wherever it was scrubbed...

I have been able to remove it with acetone....you just soak a rag and rub in circles. It is very slow work, but it WILL come off.

Don’t scrape with fingers! Fungus can go under finger nails!!!
