You spray it on let it dry then wipe it off. OR they say you can wash it off too. Which ever way you go it doesn't require much rubbing. Spray Hagerty is not cheap. I use the non-spray on most of the tuba and save the spray for hard to get to places.

Soak 'em in a hot solution of zinc sulfate. It kills the moss on my roof. :P

You have to sand paper the nails down first, get them thin so the bug killer can penetrate.

High dosage gamma rays work reasonably well too.

Instead of talking to your plants, if you yelled at them would they still grow, but only to be troubled and insecure?

A coat of plain paste wax might work just as well. Or perhaps a spritz of Pledge furniture spray.
