My Siding Has Small Black Raised Dots On It- What is This and Will it Come Off With Pressure Washing?
These small black raised dots are called artillary fungus or shotgun fungus. They are called this because they can “shoot” themselves at distances approaching 30ft. They are often found in older rotting mulch either in your own yard or a neighbors. Artillary fungus is a growing problem throughout the Carolinas. Unfortunately, pressure washing does not remove this pest. It is best to call you local pest control (Terminix, etc.) as they have the means to not only treat this problem but prevent further infestation by this aggressive pest.
