Anyone got advice on clearing vegetation from very high gutters? Is there any kind of robot that goes round gutters cleaning them? Or anything else short of hiring a "cherry picker"?

Next time I do mine I will spray weedkiller as some of them have roots in wall... which is best done in dry weather as rain washes the weedkiller off before it's been absorbed.

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the drugs began to take hold. I remember Timothy Murphy saying something like:
A long pole with a hooked-over profiled scraper.

An angle grinder.
Drain rod set with a 'drop scraper'. Means you don't have to move the ladder much once up. The scraper doesn't fit all gutters that well, but 5 mins with an angle grinder would modify it to suit.
I did see a gadget once for gutter cleaning with a pressure washer, never tried it though.
I couldn't actually make out how it is meant to work.
