Raid wasp spray on shingle roof

derekr | Posted in General Questions on May 10, 2022 10:19am

I sprayed some wasps under my overhang and it dripped down onto my lower roof, it left 2 dark stains

what I want to know is this is going to damage the shingles overtime or is it simply just a stain?

It is an oil stain and it's probably permanent. It generally won't do any long-term damage to the shingles unless you used a LOT of spray.
