Pond-side homes get dirty FAST. 🕷️
We recently returned to this Van Alstyne property for a house wash and window cleaning. The side facing the pond collects the most bugs, spiderwebs and mud-dauber nests—not to mention all the pollen and dust carried by North Texas storms.
We soft washed the brick, painted fiber-cement siding, soffits and eaves without blasting everything with excessive pressure. We also rinsed the patios so we didn’t leave behind the dirt that came off the house.
Our solution handled the wasps before they could bother us. I can’t say the process worked out quite as well for the wasps. 😂
For homes near ponds, lakes, creeks or heavy tree cover, we generally recommend:
• House washing about once per year
• Exterior window cleaning two to four times per year
• Interior windows about once per year
We can’t guarantee the spiders won’t return—but we can give you a pretty good break from them!
