Soft Washing Away Summer Pests – Including Black Widows!
Oh, the joys of a Tallahassee summer! Sunshine, blooming magnolias, and… well, let’s just say a thriving insect population. If you’ve spent any time on a porch or patio around here, especially if you’re near one of our beautiful lakes or nestled amongst the trees, you know exactly what we’re talking about. While we cherish our local wildlife, from the bunnies in Summerbrooke to the white-tailed deer in Golden Eagle, some creatures are best kept at a distance – and that definitely includes the spiders, wasps, and mud daubers that love to set up shop on our outdoor living spaces.
Here at Hot Water Pressure Washing, we spend a lot of time soft washing homes in and around Tallahassee, and we’ve seen it all. Just today, we encountered a rather alarming collection of black widow egg sacs on the siding of a front porch of a home in Crawfordville, Florida. Not exactly the welcoming committee you want for your rocking chair! While we love and protect our wildlife, we’re pretty sure those black widows can take a hike!
So, how do you reclaim your outdoor oasis without resorting to harsh, damaging methods? The answer is simple: Soft Washing.
Why Soft Washing is the Safest Way to Clean Insects and Their Nests
Soft washing is the best way to safely clean insects from porches, patios, and around the home. The soft wash soap will help break down the nests and webs, followed up by a thorough low-pressure rinse. The insects are gone, and your porch and patios are sanitized, leaving them truly clean.
Imagine sinking into that favorite porch swing, a cool drink in hand, the scent of jasmine drifting through the warm evening air. That’s what your Tallahassee outdoor space should be. Not a sticky obstacle course of spiderwebs, or a constant dodge-and-weave around buzzing wasps and their muddy fortresses. When those uninvited insect “roommates” start taking over, your relaxing retreat becomes a battleground.
If you’re ready to reclaim your patio and porch from these six-legged squatters, without resorting to harsh tactics, then soft washing is your secret weapon. It’s the smart, safe, and truly effective way to ensure your slice of Florida paradise is clean, serene, and ready for you to enjoy all summer long.
