cleaning bug eggs off vinyl siding

[badnews]

I have not yet found a cleaning agent that will break up the gunk left by bugs on my vinyl siding, which I assume to be fly or spyder eggs. This is lakeside location, so there are lots of insects. I'm power washing several times per year and still not able to cut through these small black dots left on the siding. Any suggestions?

Do a search for artillery fungus - if you have mulch around/near your house, you may be dealing with that as opposed to bug poop.

Thanks for the advice. I did some serching and concluded that it is the artillery fungus and not from bugs. Bummed out, however, because my search suggests that there doesn't appear to be any way to remove it from the siding.

Using a turbo nozzle on vinyl siding can also mar the finish. It may not be very visible but it will tend to grab and hold dirt and mildew spores easier. If you get too close it can also cause some pretty bad damage. How do I know this? My neighbor just did it yesterday!
