What do you use to remove webs/daubers from stucco prior to pressure washing?

I've always used just a plain old school broom but wondering if there is something more efficient out there? TIA

I don't know if this is good for it ( 
) but I use the 30 Second Outdoor Cleaner from Home Depot which is a bleach solution. Attaches to hose. I spray the wall down then wait 5-10 minutes (which is how long it takes to transfer hose to pressure washer and start it).
Cleans the hell out of my stucco.

I'm also very careful pressure washing stucco. Use the broader spray attachments and don't get too close.

I use a small piece of wood. Something like a paint stirrer to knock dauber nests down. You could use a putty knife but don't gouge stucco.
Knock most of the dirt loose and when you pressure wash it's not nearly as messy.

The end of a broom.

once you remove the majority of it, Mold Armor ( bright green bottle) house cleaner works really well

Bucket of water and wire brush. Alternate both then wash off one last time with water

Whatever works but the most important thing is after you're done pressure washing spray your house with Suspend SC and keep those suckers knocked back.

In your experience, how long does this stuff last? My soffits are vinyl siding material (trashy iknkow) and the dobber/wasps/bugs keep trying to build homes in the many gaps due to the nature of the vinyl siding. One critter likes to stuff grass clippings in every single hole and let it hang down. I've done a thorough cleaning and hope I can just spray once in the Spring with either Bifen or Suspend to keep them out.

Spray Suspend SC 2x yr.

Does this leave a white residue or is it clear?

The poison itself is white like milk but when diluted as per instructions, I can't see any opaqueness at all.
