What do most of you do to treat the dreaded moss on the tar. Have just sprayed it so hoping that will kill it off. But then still need to remove it. Has anyone hired one of those pedestrian road sweepers to give it a good clean to remove the dead moss? Trying to avoid the powerhosing as not good for the tar apparently.

Sprayed the moss on the tarmac with Algae remover this time - finished by power hosing it off.
Useless.
Missing a few stones from tarmac now and all of the moss is still there.

Has anyone names of products that actually removed the moss?

Just spray it on and let the rain wash it off?

Yeah - you mix it to a ratio depending on the strength you want it at and how bad the area to treat is. Gives you instructions - but you just spray it on and leave it. Takes a few weeks for it to start working.

Only prob is this country is too wet and too cold for too long, so any moss or algae will keep coming back. It's just a constant battle of the wills.
