We have a lot of moss on our roof. Does anyone have some good ideas for killing it and keeping it from growing back?

Call a roofer unless you're *really* a DIY kind of person.
Get a Galvanized flashing installed that hangs out under the ridge.
Somehow, the Galvanized stuff eliminates the moss/mildew by magic. (Look around your pipe vents,,,, no mildew under them, huh?)
Go for it.
I would recommend that you call a pressure washing company. They can Zip the Moss away in NO TIME. NOW if YOU want to do it I will tell you that it can be a Dangerous job. Moss is VERY SLIPPERY. If you have a 1 story or 2 story it can be even more dangerous. In HAWAII where I live we use s pressure with a lot of pressure rated yo the Machine. You can Rent this by the day or Week. In Hawaii we have Mildew so half a gallon of Clorox and half a gallon of water does just fine. I do not know what kind of moss you are talking about.
I sprinkled borax on the roof and let the rain do the rest.Its been two years and it hasnt come back.Zinc or galvinized strips are the answer if you are getting a new install but who thinks of that then? Once your roof is older it gets difficult and could cause damage to shingles.
