Fly Poo removal with WFP

[Rickadoo]

Hi Guys,

I've recently switched to WFP from trad and things are going well.  One thing that I'm struggling with is removing fly/spider poo. I have some jobs on my round where there is a lot of insect poo on the windows almost every month. I'm used to just scraping them off with scraper or fingernail or the green abrasive edge of applicator sleeve. However I'm now having difficulty removing these deposits with wfp. Is there a recommended way to get rid of these. Perhaps a specific wfp brush type or even a soloution you could put on first. On some of my jobs I've resorted to just getting the ladder off the van and tradding them. 

Many Thanks

Rich

I have one of these on my Gardiner pole, shifts seagull  :1f4a9: so I would think it would remove insects.

The super scraper is ok, but I have this a lot on a care home I do.  Best method I have to remove it is touse the side of my brush head to rub it off without applying too much pressure (and avoid scratches).  It's not ideal but it does remove it.  This problem is my one and only pet peeve using WFP.

You need to soak fly poo first, not a lot of Good scrubbing as you come across it but it will shift after a good soaking. I have a super scraper on my poles but have seen this advertised and it might be just right for really bad situations

I clean quite a few farms where there are dairy/beef cattle so get quite a bit of this fly poo on the frames/windows. I use diluted G101 (1 part G101 to 40 parts water roughly) which I keep in a spray bottle  - this usually just melts away the spots on white UPVC. These spots also tend to disappear over winter - with frosts etc...  I've also found G101 removes tree sap quite well.

Anyone else tried g101?
How safe is this on glass and frames?
