Dirt daubers have started making a mess, leaving little mud daubs on my stucco. I was fine with the occasional little nests but this is too much.

How do I clean these spots off of my stucco?

Can't help but that is a big reason I built with no stucco. I imagine it ain't easy to get it off 100% Good info on other threads to spray and prevent. Good luck

soap and water and a scrub brush gets it right off, just knock the clump off, then wet it a few times to let it turn back into soft mud first

Save your old tooth brushes. They are the perfect size and are easier on your paint than the hard scrub brushes

You can’t just skeet them with the water hose?

You can knock down the brunt of the dauber nest, but they will leave a slightly dark smudge where they attached to the house and need to be scrubbed to remove the discoloration.

Knock off as much as you can screw driver or something similar. Wet it with a hose and scrub with a brush then rinse again

I use a hose to knock off the big chuck, and hit it with 30 Second Cleaner. Let sit, and hose off. I do this a couple times a year to the porch, and windows to freshen them up.
