This has been BAD in my area. Everything is covered in sticky bugsh1t!

Bloblike, sticky insect excrement spreads across Austin

Oh thank goodness it's not just at my house! I was looking this stuff up trying to figure out what I could do about it!

I was thinking it was sap from the neighbors Crape Myrtle. The stuff is all over our Pickup and car but it does wash off easily.

I'm too lazy to clean my windows like some would and I struggled to get it off the windows just using the washer fluid/wiper blades but noticed it came right off this morning (6am-ish) with the wipers before the stuff and window were allowed to heat up... duh.

It comes off easily with just handheld hose spray on the hard setting.

I was on my roof yesterday cleaning leaves out of my gutters, and I'm pretty sure there was cat poop up there. Never expected to see that there.

More likely racoon or possum. I had some that often nested behind the chimney where piles of leaves collected.
