How can I clean the interior of a barn with high pressure air. Don't want to power wash it and I've got a compressor.

Got a whole bunch of barn sparrow nests,cobwebs, and hornets nests I want to blast and then sweep up.

Is there a tool for air compressors?

However you clean it I would make sure to use a good respirator, you don't want all that dust with bird/racoon/animal poop in your lungs. You might get good results with a shop vac or dust collector like they use in wood shops.

We use a electric leaf blower before we whitewash. Works good for us.

its possible to put light weight pipe/tubing together with a blow nozzle on the end to clean high places without climbing . the valve can be located at the beginning of the extension . actually a long wand .

try a broom. kinda oldfashoned but believe me it still works. we always swept the barn out once a year and then had it commercialy whitewashed. Then we swept the cobwebs down about once a month in the winter too. Good job for a snowy day.

Yes there are tools you could use with a shop air compressor.. You can buy an "Air wand". This is like a small blow gun. The big difference is that it is about 3 feet long. The trigger is at one end and the air nozzle at the other end. It works good for reaching into areas.

The other thing you might consider is renting an industrial compressor.. one that is used to run jack hammers, etc. These usually have a 1" hose and run at 100psi with a large volumne of air. There are different nozzle ends available for them as well. We use one to blow out/off the combine at the end of the harvesting season. It does a great job and is alot more effecient that using our shop compressor.

Just an idea.
